Google and Yahoo are implementing new guidelines for bulk email senders in early
2024 to protect against spam, fraud and phishing. These changes will also
improve your deliverability.

 

The good news? You’ve got an expert in deliverability and authentication on your
side. We’re working behind the scenes so your emails continue to be delivered.

 

Check out the resources below to help answer any questions you might have and
next steps you can take.

WILL THESE CHANGES IMPACT MY DELIVERABILITY OR LIKELIHOOD OF MY EMAILS GOING TO
JUNK/SPAM?


Click to see more (Highlight to read)
With these changes, Google, Yahoo, and many other receiving mailbox providers
will treat unauthenticated email suspiciously. But don’t worry! At Constant
Contact, we believe that no email should leave our system if it doesn’t meet the
authentication requirements. If you don't have your own domain to authenticate
with, or just haven’t had time to get it done, we'll be rewriting your “From”
email address to a shared domain we can authenticate for you to help keep your
emails from landing in the junk folder.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I ALREADY MEET THE NEW REQUIREMENTS?

Click to see more (Highlight to read)

If you've already self-authenticated and published a DMARC policy for your
domain, you’ll see a message in your account upon login to let you know you’re
all set. You can also check if you have a DMARC record using this lookup tool.

WHAT IF I DON'T MAKE ACTION ON MY END BEFORE CHANGES TAKE EFFECT?

Click to see more (Highlight to read)

Keep calm and email on. If you don’t take action before the changes go into
effect, we’ll automatically rewrite your “From” email address with our shared
ccsend.com domain, which meets the DKIM and DMARC authentication requirements.
For example: <carlscoffee@gmail.com> will become
<carlscoffee-gmail.com@shared1.ccsend.com>

That being said, sending from your own domain and setting up self-authentication
is an industry best practice and helps build your brand’s sending reputation.

WHAT TYPE OF EMAIL AUTHENTICATION SHOULD I USE?

 

I send email from my own domain that I control

 

 I send from my organization's domain

 I own my own domain, but not currently sending email



 I send from a free webmail or my local ISP provider

 

The best option for you will be to set up self-authentication within Constant
Contact and then add the DNS records we generate for you 

 

 

 

Contact your IT or mail server group to enable DKIM signing for Constant Contact
in your outbound email. If they can update DNS records, opt for
self-authentication in Constant Contact.

 

Contact your IT or mail server group to set up organization domain email and
enable Constant Contact to DKIM sign your email. If possible, choose
self-authentication in Constant Contact.

 

Since you’re sending from a domain that you’re not able to set up authentication
for, Constant Contact has you covered! We’re working on a process to help make
sure your messages stay in compliance.
