send emails, email providers (such as Gmail, Outlook, AOL, and Yahoo) must identify whether it is a legitimate email sent by the owner of the domain name or address or a counterfeit email sent by a spammer or phisher.<br \/>\nThis includes emails sent by <a href=\"https:\/\/kb.mailpoet.com\/article\/295-spf-dkim-dmarc#2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MailPoet<\/a> and many other services as well! <\/p>\n<p>Starting in February 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/gmail\/gmail-security-authentication-spam-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Gmail<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.postmaster.yahooinc.com\/post\/730172167494483968\/more-secure-less-spam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Yahoo<\/a> will begin requiring <strong>DKIM<\/strong> and <strong>DMARC<\/strong> from users who send more than 5,000 emails per day to ensure delivery.<br \/>\nHowever, we strongly recommend that all senders configure DKIM and DMARC.<br \/>In addition to this strong requirement, there are many other benefits: <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Strengthen<\/strong> your branding<br \/>You can strengthen your branding by removing the &#8220;via&#8230;&#8221; header from Gmail.<br \/>\nA positive side effect of setting up DKIM authentication is that this header disappears. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Build a reputation as an email sender on your domain name<\/strong><br \/>Sending emails without authentication is like turning in a task without a name.<br \/>\nYou might have done well, but you can&#8217;t take credit for it if your name isn&#8217;t on it.<br \/>\nDKIM authentication, in particular, helps build your reputation as an email sender.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Apply tighter security to your domain name<\/strong><br \/>Authentication standards such as DMARC help protect your domain name from potentially fraudulent use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Email authentication does not solve all deliverability problems, such as whether or not the recipient wants the email.<br \/>\nHowever, authentication does solve the problem of determining who the email came from. <\/p>\n<p>A sender who follows best practices, such as sending personalized, high-quality emails to an opt-in list and performing regular list hygiene, will typically see higher deliverability when using email authentication.<br \/>\nHis domain will build a reputation as a good sender with recipients who want to interact with his emails. <\/p>\n<p>A sender who does not follow best practices, such as using a rented or purchased list, who does not have clear messages during the opt-in process about what type of emails will be sent and how often, or who never performs list hygiene, will typically see lower deliverability with email authentication.<br \/>\nYour domain can build a reputation as an unwanted email sender. <\/p>\n<p>Authentication allows valid senders to further solidify their reputation and protect their domain from malicious senders who might try to steal their domain.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b62f70f
