I made an app using parse, and am using email verification in it. I have a bug where it is not sending email verifications to #yahoo.com & #optonline.net emails. Those are the two I found to not be working. It is working for all other emails.
It says to do the following stuff below, but I am very new to web coding, and so I have no idea how to complete the following tasks. Could someone walk me through them? And if that is not even how I should fix the error, what would be the fix?
To ensure that mail providers don't incorrectly mark emails sent on behalf of your app as spam, we recommend you add DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records to your DNS records.
Run the following in your terminal: dig +short k1._domainkey.parse.com txt for the most up-to-date DKIM value.
Add the following to your SPF or TXT record: v=spf1 include:parseapps.com ~all

I used ionos/1and1 for my company website and I send e-mails using gmail. The e-mails are hosted by ionos/1and1.
Whenever I send an e-mail to a gmail account I get the following message:
"Be careful with this message
Gmail could not verify that it actually came from domainname.com Avoid clicking links, downloading attachments, or replying with personal information."
I have created a spf recond with a txt in my domain by I guess it could be wrong this is what I'm using
v=spf1 include:_spf.perfora.net include:_spf.kundenserver.de ~all
if that one is not correct will this one work?
v=spf1 include:_spf.perfora.net include:_spf.kundenserver.de include:_spf.google.com ~all
Thank you for the help
Add a record
TXT # "google-site-verification=blabla0123456789"
to the zone file of your domain.
You can get the value for blabla0123456789 from
https://support.google.com/a/answer/183895

By the way, if you omit any spf record in your zone file ionos will automatically create an appropriate record for sending emails to gmail addresses.
Recently, emails being sent by my webapp are being marked as spam by Gmail. Possibly other providers as well. My webapp uses Sendgrid to send some system-related automated or user-triggered emails. When I first encountered this issue, I set up an SPF record within Amazon Route 53 that solved the problem.
About a week ago, these system emails started going into spam again. When I go to dmarcian.com and use their SPF Surveyor tool, the tool says that I do not have an SPF record for the domain.
I double-checked my dashboard in Sendgrid and the SPF records are verified on that end. I also set up link branding, added the requisite DNS records in Route 53, and verified them through Sendgrid. That did not fix the issue.
Here is the SPF record I have in Route 53:
v=spf1 mx a include:sendgrid.net -all
I have tweaked this from what is was previously in attempts to get this to work. It previously did not include the "mx a" tags but still provided the desired results.
I'm expecting these emails to show up in my regular inbox without a huge warning banner telling me they could be spam. Currently the emails arrive with that banner, or they just go straight to my spam folder and I have to mark them in both instances as not spam.
I'm a complete novice at this stuff, so if there's something I didn't include someone needs to see, please just let me know and I'll post whatever is needed.
I just found out my domain's emails have been going to the spam folder of gmail recipients. I did some research and I put the following in my DNS records for my domain name:
TXT - "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
I'm not sure if I have to put anything before the spf like my server's IP address or a or mx in some configurations I see. I mainly use my google apps domain email by using my plain gmail account and set "Send As" to send from the domain specific emails.
Is there something else I am missing or overlooking that I need to do to resolve this issue?
If you're only using google apps to send emails then that's the correct SPF record.
If you want to be sure, the best thing you can do is send an email to
mailtest#unlocktheinbox.com
check-auth#verifier.port25.com
They are know as reflectors and will auto-respond with your configuration, letting you know if you have your SPF set up correctly.
If you're unsure of what you need just use an SPF Wizard, but I think based on your description you're 100% fine. The MX and A just tells the receiving mail server that if the mail comes from you MX or A of your domain, then it's a good email, but you're sending from google, so you wouldn't need it.
Also with GMAIL in-boxing takes time and SPF isn't the magic cure, but it helps.
I know there are lots of questions on here already about being able to send emails to hotmail. I have read through them all, as well as lots of online posts over the last few weeks and have still been unable to fix this issue.
The issue that I am having is that I am unable to send emails to customers who have a hotmail email address. I can send emails to yahoo fine, I can also send emails to gmail as well (although these seem to go to the junk folder), however when I sent emails to hotmail email addresses, they just seem to never arrive.
I am using swiftMailer in a PHP Symfony2 Application to send the emails.
The server that my application sits on is a Linux CentOs box and I have open relay turned off
I have sent emails to 'auth-results#verifier.port25.com' to check that SPF, DKIM and Sender-Id is setup correctly. Partial output of that report is below:
==========================================================
Summary of Results
SPF check: pass
DomainKeys check: neutral
DKIM check: pass
Sender-ID check: pass
SpamAssassin check: ham
==========================================================
The DomainKeys check is neutral, i'm not sure if that is required as as DKIM is an extension on the DomainKeys.
I have setup a v=spf1 record and a spf2.0/pra record in the DNS as TXT entries.
My help on this would be greatly appreciated. I think the issue may be to do with Sender-ID, but I dont know too much about this subject area.
Check your mail server logs. Are you seeing something like this for delivery to your Hotmail recipients:
550 SC-001 (COL004-MC4F43) Unfortunately, messages from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors.
If so, then it means that your mail server IP is on Microsoft's blacklist. You probably won't have much luck sending to users at live.com, outlook.com, or msn.com either. Fortunately, there is a solution. See the link below for a decent guide on how to resolve the problem:
https://www.rackaid.com/blog/hotmail-blacklist-removal/.
The key is to submit a request to Microsoft to remove your IP address from their blacklist (at https://support.live.com/eform.aspx?productKey=edfsmsbl3&ct=eformts&wa=wsignin1.0&scrx=1), but don't do that until you are sure that whatever caused you to become blacklisted has been resolved, as Microsoft doesn't like repeat offenders.
Hello I own a website which uses 2 different ways to sent emails to users:
-gmail configured like support#example.com
-amazon SES
The problem is that the emails sent with SES goes allways into spam!
my SPF record looks like: "v=spf1 include:amazonses.com include:_spf.google.com ~all"
my TXT record looks like: "v=spf1 include:amazonses.com include:_spf.google.com ~all"
I have just changed this records as above, should I need to wait 48 hours or something similar?
Are this correct settings? if yes what could be the reason of my problem?
The first comment is actually not entirely correct!
Mechanisms can be prefixed with one of four qualifiers:
"+" Pass
"-" Fail
"~" SoftFail
"?" Neutral
SoftFail is usually the better choice than Fail because SPF has some flaws and a Fail could prevent some forwarded emails to not arrive at all instead of being flagged as possible spam. (I have experience with those problems since I have worked for several email providers)
Make sure to test your SPF records. You can use this website to test them:
http://spf.myisp.ch
First, as others noted, you are using SoftFail ~all. From openspf.org Record Syntax:
SoftFail: The SPF record has designated the host as NOT being allowed to send but is in transition
Intended action: accept but mark
You should use HardFail -all if you want the emails to be rejected when sent from an unauthorized server.
SPF protection is used to prevent spoofing. It's there to define the servers that are authorized to send emails for a certain domain. Generally, if the spf fail, the email will just be rejected and will not get into the spams.
There's a lot of possible reasons an email is getting into the spams, but it's generally because your email has been flagged as spam by a content analysis tool like SpamAssassin. You should contact whoever is managing the email filtering and ask them why exactly your email got in the spams.
