Email Deliverability — SPF, DKIM & DMARC Explained

Email Deliverability — SPF, DKIM & DMARC Explained

? Stop Your Emails Going to Spam

Properly configured SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records ensure your emails reach the inbox, not the spam folder.

The Big Three Email Authentication Records

SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

Tells receiving servers which IP addresses are allowed to send email for your domain.

v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:spf.gositeme.com ~all

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)

Adds a digital signature to every email, proving it wasn't tampered with in transit.

v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqh...

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication)

Tells receiving servers what to do when SPF or DKIM checks fail. Prevents email spoofing.

v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com

? Alfred Sets It Up Automatically

When you set up email through GoSiteMe, Alfred automatically configures all three records. Just say: "Alfred, set up email for my domain" and everything is configured within seconds.
