    DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a method used to associate a domain name identity with an outgoing message and to validate a domain name identity associated with an incoming message through cryptographic authentication.
    SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a method used to prevent sender address forgery, i.e. using fake sender addresses. It allows mail server to check that incoming mail from a domain comes from a host authorized by that domain’s administrator. In addition, Plesk uses SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme), so that forwarded messages can pass SPF checking.
    DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is a technology to extend the capabilities of the SPF and DKIM methods. The DMARC policy defines how the receiver should treat email messages depending on the results of DKIM and SPF checking.

    • I set up using cPanel - I'm hoping its done all the legwork for me. Do I need to DO anything with the 'Current raw SPF record'? eg. in the mail client?detritus
    • you are getting bogged down in stuff which isn't the issue. As if gmail would be used if it casually blocked incoming email. come on.fadein11
    • you email is hosted on a shared server and gmail is blocking you or one of the other fuckers on that server to prevent spam.fadein11
    • google have issues but this is just paranoid. blame your web/email host not google.fadein11
    • most of gmail traffic are emails sent/received from "self hosted" email, not @gmail.comfadein11
    • he checks the server on mxtoolbox and the ip isn't blacklisted...sted

    • eat my own hat.fadein11
    • "Google would much prefer you use their email rather than your own, so will deploy any technology or excuse to make your independent/non-GMai... emails fail"fadein11
    • nonsense, sorry but it is. most of gmails traffic is exactly that lolfadein11
