SPF, DKIM & DMARC
Deliverability starts with proving you’re a legitimate sender. Meet the holiest of trinities of email authentication: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
Together, these three form your credibility passport. ISPs like Google & Microsoft require proper authentication. ISPs basically treat unauthenticated emails like toxic waste. Skipping SPF/DKIM/DMARC is deliverability suicide.
True story: one company went from 45% to 94% inbox placement in two weeks just by fixing their DMARC policy from ‘none’ to enforcement.
The lesson: handle your authentication, and you won’t lose leads over an easy DNS fix.
Your domain’s email bouncer
Signing your emails like a boss
The ultimate email bodyguard
PitchKraft lets you verify your SPF, DKIM and DMARC within the software. We strongly advise you to take advantage of that.
We also ask that you verify your domain so that others can’t send emails using PitchKraft on your behalf. Unless you verify your domain, which is a 10-minute job, we won’t be able to let you send emails via PitchKraft.
We value your email reputation and won’t do anything which could harm it. If you have any problems or need any help or advice, just contact our support team anytime.
Your domain’s email bouncer
Signing your emails like a boss
The ultimate email bodyguard
Essentially a DNS-based guest list saying which servers can send emails on behalf of your domain. If an email comes from an IP not on the list, then the bouncer (the mail server) says ‘nope, not getting in.’
Without SPF: you’re inviting mailbox providers to doubt every email you send.
This adds a cryptographic signature to your emails. Think of it as a wax seal that works in the digital world. The receiving server checks the signature via your public key in DNS. If the signature is legit, it proves the email hasn’t been tampered with and really comes from you.
No DKIM: no proof you wrote that email at all.
The policy enforcer. DMARC ties SPF and DKIM together with your domain’s ‘From’ address and tells receivers what to do if an email fails those checks. It’s the instructions manual for the bouncer: do we let failures slide, do we quarantine them, or outright reject them?
A proper DMARC policy (ideally set to quarantine or reject, not just ‘none’) shows you’re serious about stopping spoofers.
If you haven’t the first clue about DNS then just head over to your tech support person or the company that hosts your domain. It’s bread and butter for them. Point them in the direction of our in-depth guides on using SPF, DKIM and DMARC for email authentication.
Warning: do not drive or use heavy machinery after reading these guides.
