Email Requirements for Gmail and Yahoo!

Modified on Mon, 9 Sep at 10:49 AM

Starting February 1, 2024, Gmail and Yahoo! will enforce new requirements for what mail they’ll accept and transmit to users’ inboxes. 


Set up SPF and DKIM email authentication for your domain.


What does it mean? DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Sender Policy Framework (SPF) are the two foundational forms of email authentication. DKIM uses asymmetric encryption to sign and verify your email. SPF allows you to list all the IP addresses that are authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. When you opened your SendGrid account, you were prompted to set up your SPF and DKIM records. This is a standard component of our onboarding process, given the importance the industry puts on securing a sending domain. 


Go to Settings -> Sender Authentication in the app
