What is SPF and why is it important?

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. Without SPF, spammers can forge emails from your domain, damaging your reputation and deliverability. IntoDNS.ai validates your SPF configuration and identifies issues instantly.

How do I check if my DKIM is configured correctly?

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a cryptographic signature to your emails for authentication. Use IntoDNS.ai's free DKIM checker to verify your public key is published correctly and matches your email server's private key. We scan common selectors and validate your DKIM setup automatically.

What DMARC policy should I use?

Start with p=none to monitor your email traffic without blocking messages, then gradually move to p=quarantine and finally p=reject for maximum protection. IntoDNS.ai's DMARC analyzer shows your current policy and recommends the optimal setting based on your email authentication status.

Why do my emails end up in spam?

Emails land in spam due to missing or misconfigured SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records, poor sender reputation, or blacklisted IP addresses. Run a free scan on IntoDNS.ai to identify exactly which email authentication issues are affecting your deliverability and get actionable fixes.

What is DNSSEC and do I need it?

DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) cryptographically signs your DNS records to prevent spoofing and cache poisoning attacks. While not required, DNSSEC significantly improves your domain security and is increasingly expected by security-conscious organizations. IntoDNS.ai validates your DNSSEC chain of trust.

How do I check if my domain is blacklisted?

Domain and IP blacklisting can severely impact email deliverability and website accessibility. IntoDNS.ai checks your domain against major DNS blacklists (DNSBLs) and provides guidance on delisting procedures if issues are found.

What are the Google and Yahoo 2024 sender requirements?

As of February 2024, bulk senders must have valid SPF and DKIM records, a published DMARC policy, easy unsubscribe options, and maintain spam complaint rates below 0.3%. IntoDNS.ai verifies compliance with these requirements and helps you avoid delivery issues with Gmail and Yahoo Mail.

What is BIMI and how do I set it up?

BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) displays your brand logo in recipients' inboxes, increasing trust and engagement. You need DMARC enforcement (p=quarantine or p=reject), a verified SVG logo, and a VMC or CMC mark certificate for Gmail logo display. IntoDNS.ai validates your BIMI record before you spend money on a certificate.
