How to fix email going to spam with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC

Email on Plesk 178 views 1 min read Updated 1 hour ago
Quick Answer

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC prove that your messages are allowed to come from your domain.

If your messages go to spam, the receiving mail provider may not trust your domain yet. DNS authentication helps fix that.

SPF

SPF lists the mail servers allowed to send for your domain. Add one SPF TXT record only. If one already exists, merge the Nakroteck include into the existing record.

v=spf1 +a +mx include:_spf.nakroteck.net ~all

DKIM

DKIM signs outgoing mail. In Plesk, open Mail, then the domain mail settings, and enable DKIM signing if available. Copy any DNS record Plesk shows into the domain DNS zone.

DMARC

DMARC tells mail providers what to do if SPF or DKIM fails. Start with monitoring before enforcing rejection.

v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:postmaster@yourdomain.com

Still landing in spam

Send us the domain, recipient provider, and a sample message header so we can check reputation, DNS, and mail logs.
