Hello everyone,
I have been trying to setup DMARC and so on so I can get a better deliverabilty with my own domain [email protected] .
I setup everything with Porkbun and Netlify. I also fixed the Gmail stuff and so on.
I check my DMARC status and it was all good, then I sent a test email from emailoctopus and it ended up on the promotions tab.
And it popped the yellow msg.
But according to a mx toolbox was fine.
Is it because it needs to propagate or something still?
Any place where I learn properly about it?
Thanks a lot!
So you've got DMARC set up, but you need DKIM and SPF set-up for the email you're sending to pass. So in EmailOctopus verify your domain here: https://emailoctopus.com/account/senders/verify-domain
That'll set up DKIM and SPF, then once they're passing DKIM should pass too.
Oh, wow. That's what I call customer service :-).
I did input all the cname's and spf that I got fro EO then I have this DMARC
Does this suits ?
Thank you so much Thomas.
Edit: Everything is fixed now.
Thomas, that was really nice you popping out and helping. Really helpful.
Appreciate it a lot.
Just checked and yep, can confirm everything is passing!
Thanks to you Thomas
Really appreciate that.
@Michael_Andreuzza when you say you fixed all the Gmail stuff, how do you mean? In Netlify or in Google Domains?
I ran into issues with DMARC/DKIM/SPF (you should have all 3) with a Google domain using Gmail as the Mail provider and Netlify as the DNS host initially. I had to make sure I migrated all DNS to Netlify, but using Gmail DMARC/DKIM/SPF record values. I didn’t see this spelled out anywhere specifically, though.
Oh...well.
What I meant about Gmail is that added it so I can send emails from gmail with my email.
Yeah, Netlify is hosting my site, so I yave al DNS stuff there.
So you mean,I have to use gmail record values, and change them from those I have now?
Thank you for replying Mike.
For fractionconsulting.co, I went into Google Domains and created DMARC, DKIM, and SPF records and then went to Netlify DNS to create those same records and copy/paste the record values:
One thing that is technically allowed, but less than ideal and might be throwing your emails into spam is that you don't have a DKIM record for unicornsfeed.com
DMARC and SPF without DKIM isn't ideal, as DKIM is one authentication method for DMARC.
Since Gmail is your mail sending domain, you'll need to add a new TXT record for SPF that looks something like this:
I just made the record first in Google Domains, and then copy/pasted the value into Netlify DNS.
Hey Mike, sorry for late replay. Work...
I just saw that I got the wrong DMARC1 from Porkbun wrong I woud say because they gave me this:
but for example this:
should have been with my domain right?
rua=mailto:[email protected]; ruf=mailto:[email protected];
If I am not wrong.
I am sending the email from emailoctopus though...not from google
I think part of your issue is that you're using EmailOctopus to send the email campaigns, but Porkbun for email hosting:
You're using Porkbun to send via Gmail so you'll need to make sure there is a DKIM record for Porkbun and that Porkbun has an MX record set up for the Google MX server:
as per this article:
https://kb.porkbun.com/article/44-how-to-configure-your-domain-for-g-suite-email
That article doesn't mention DKIM (it should), but the record you created looks good, just be really cautious of spaces and line breaks when you copy/paste.
For SPF, you'll need a TXT record in Porkbun as well the Gmail value of:
For the DMARC record on the "rua=" and "ruf=" parts, yes you want your own domain's email address.
Hey mike,
I got setup already.
I am hosting on Netlify and sending from Email Octopus actually..which is the records that i needed.
Now is all green.
😅 Sorry I see I’m late to the party, but glad you got it sorted.
no don't be sorry. You helped me.I am super thankful for that.
