Most businesses lose email they never know about — invoices, quotes and outreach quietly filtered to spam because their domain isn't authenticated properly. We audit it, fix it, and keep it monitored, so your mail actually arrives.
When your domain's authentication isn't set up correctly, mailbox providers like Gmail and Outlook do one of two things with your mail: drop it in spam, or reject it outright. You almost never get told — the customer simply never replies. Worse, an unprotected domain can be spoofed: anyone can send phishing emails as you, to your own customers.
Authentication. SPF, DKIM and DMARC — published, aligned and enforcing. This is the core of whether providers trust your mail. Reputation. Your domain and IP standing, reverse-DNS (PTR), and blocklist checks. Infrastructure. MX, TLS and record alignment, so the mechanics hold up. Practice & scale. List hygiene, sending patterns, and a structured warm-up plan for anyone running campaigns.
A snapshot from real audits — sectors shown, names withheld. Every one had gaps the owner didn't know about, and every gap is fixable.
Wide open. No authentication of any kind — anyone can send email as this domain, and legitimate mail is at high risk of spam filtering. Fix: publish SPF, enable DKIM, roll out DMARC monitoring → enforcement.
Half-protected. SPF is correctly locked down, but DKIM was never enabled and there's no DMARC — so the domain is still spoofable and has zero reporting. Fix: enable Microsoft 365 DKIM signing, add DMARC with reporting.
Close, but loose. All three records exist — but SPF only soft-fails, and DMARC is monitor-only with no enforcement or reporting. Fix: tighten SPF to -all, move DMARC none → quarantine → reject, add reporting.
Findings from live DNS audits, July 2026. Company names withheld; sectors shown.
Since February 2024, Google and Yahoo require SPF, DKIM and DMARC for anyone sending in volume. Domains that don't comply see mail throttled or rejected — which makes getting this right the baseline for reaching the inbox at all.
A deliverability audit report — a clear grade across all four layers, every gap ranked by impact, in plain English. Full implementation — we publish and align the records on your DNS; nothing left as "to-do". DMARC monitoring — reporting switched on so you can finally see who sends as your domain, and safely move to enforcement. Campaign warm-up — for anyone sending in volume, a structured 4–6 week ramp so reputation builds instead of burning.
We'll run a free check on your domain's authentication — the same scan behind the findings above — and tell you exactly where you stand. No obligation.
