Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

Jan, I don't recall any hacks or data breaches to Google at all. I've seen plenty of other platforms with breaches like t-mobile but Google is pretty secure. I think you're acting a little paranoid in protecting your phone number. I can pay some online service and get your home address, phone numb

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

dkim has been around since 2004, nothing new about it. Its nothing to do with google. dkim checks are a standard across all legitimate platforms (also mail.com, fyi). On Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 3:31 PM Jan-GAMs wrote: > I don't see how you come to the conclusion that my paid for mail service > is s

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

I don't see how you come to the conclusion that my paid for mail service is supposed to have recently imposed made-up standards from google that comply only with google as some sort of long-standing standard.  It's a recent standard imposed by google.  And I'm never going to willingly give goog

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

Jan, It appears that what you shared demonstrates that mail.com isn't following proper procedure for sending emails. You need to pass SPF and DKIM at a minimum and ideally DMARC, which we just implemented too with our Gsuite account. This also allows our billing system to send emails on our behalf

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

if you had followed your email providers instructions, you wouldnt have created your own problems. spam is floating score based. bulk/public/free/spamhost email providers have high scores to start. proper spf loweres it, lack of dkim raises it, lack of dmarc raises it, content cn raise it, all the

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

https://kb.easydns.com/knowledge/easymail-spf-and-dkim-records/ cant tell if mailcom and easymail.ca are the same thing, but if it is, you can drastically help yourself by setting up DKIM and corresponding dmarc. dont use words like viagra in emails either On Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 1:36 PM Steve Jon

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

probably should use a mail server thats not still operating like they were that long ago. SPF failures, no DKIM in a day where both are required for deliverability. you dont have your domain configured correctly either, so that part is on you. Its odd how much someone will fight for the right to a

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

So, since grnacres doesn't have dkim or dmarc records, they should be getting bounced like the mail.com records too.  I don't have any control over the mail servers.  I rent the service "easymail" along with the domain name from easydns.  You know, it sounds to me more like google is a terroris

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

These are mail delivery failures.  From mail.com to gmail.com. Gmail is blocking mail.com.  I nor my wife can send from mail.com to gmail.com. I been using mail.com for decades, long before google ever thought of doing the same thing.    Mail.com was and still is, free. Mail.com has not been

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

so this shows the problem not being a gmail problem, but a sending domain problem. Its no different than web browsers blocking access to unsupported antiquated ciphers or old java interfaces. Thats not the browsers fault for following current best practices, its the target items fault for not bein

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

DKIM FTW!! I absolutely hate that we use Sherweb for the rackspace hosted exchange move. Sherweb doesnt do DKIM and now we see deliverability issues, pisses me off when bad decisions are made. Sure, Rackspace may have given all the PSTs to china, but at least they had solid DKIM On Fri, Mar 10, 20

it was a test.  Only the ones addressed to you went through.  The others tested, bounced.  Your address is different somehow.  You mentioned your gmail is a paid-for account, the others that bounced were the free-gmail type accounts one gets by logging into google.  The emails were sent from ma

Re: [AFMUG] mail servers

I've never heard of mail.com but I can assure you Gmail doesn't block emails that are legitimate and follow proper SPF and DKIM configurations. I receive all emails from people I'm expecting to receive. The only ones that end up in spam seem to "host" their own email and don't follow best practice
