DMARC authentication is now required beginning March 2024 following changes by Gmail and Yahoo. Dewy highly recommends all senders set up DMARC.

‍

When you send emails, mailbox providers (such as Gmail, Outlook, AOL, and Yahoo) identify if emails are legitimate or are sent by a spammer or phisher.  This includes emails sent from Dewy. This is why setting up email authentication is important.

How to set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC Authentication

There are two main parts to setting up DMARC:

1. Add your sending domain in Dewy and copy the DNS records
2. Navigate to your domain host (e.g. GoDaddy) and add the DNS records
