What We Are
Your Email Compliance Wizards!
The Importance of Email Compliance
Ignoring these new email compliance rules is akin to closing the door on your business's success. Non-compliance could lead to a significant drop in email deliverability, damaging your reputation and your ability to connect with your audience. It's not just about being unseen; failing to comply could flag your business as a spammer or a phishing threat, eroding the trust and relationships you've built with your audience.
Who Needs to Comply?
All email senders, particularly those sending bulk emails, must adhere to these new standards. This includes ensuring that your emails are authenticated and that you're using an email address from your own domain. Even low-volume senders need to pay attention to these changes, as email authentication through DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is beneficial for improving open rates and maintaining a good reputation.
The Consequences of Non-Compliance
If you don't comply with these new requirements, your emails might be blocked by Google and Yahoo, which could be detrimental to your business. There's also a risk of being blacklisted, meaning all your emails could end up in the spam folder. This isn't just a minor setback; it's a significant threat to your business's email communication strategy.
Key Elements of Email Compliance
Email Authentication: Google and Yahoo now require DKIM authentication for your emails, along with a basic DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) record.
Domain Ownership: Using generic email addresses like @gmail.com is no longer sufficient. You must use an email address from your own domain.
Spam Complaint Management: Keep your spam complaint rate below 0.3% as per Google's guidelines.
Maintaining an Active Email List: Regularly update your subscriber lists, especially since Gmail has been removing inactive accounts.
Understanding the impact and necessity of compliance:
Who Needs to Pay Attention? The new email compliance rules apply to everyone who sends emails, with a special emphasis on those who send emails in bulk. It's a universal change affecting all email communicators.
The Risks of Non-Compliance: If you choose to overlook these new regulations, be prepared for potential consequences. Google and Yahoo may block your emails, which can severely harm your business's reputation and the effectiveness of your email campaigns.
Is the Volume of Emails Sent Important?
There's been discussion about a daily sending limit of 5,000 emails, but don't be misled into a false sense of security. Regardless of the number of emails you send, compliance is mandatory for everyone.
Advice for Low-Volume Senders:
If your email sending volume is on the lower side, don't underestimate the power of DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail). It's a valuable tool for enhancing your email open rates and bolstering your sender reputation, irrespective of how many emails you send.
Guidance for High-Volume Senders:
For those who send large volumes of emails, it's critical to move away from generic email authentication methods and establish authentication under your own domain. This shift might seem challenging, but it's vital for preserving the reliability of your email delivery.
What Exactly is Email Authentication?
Think of email authentication as a passport for your emails, validating their legitimacy and distinguishing them from spam or phishing attempts. To set this up effectively, ensure your sending domain is valid (at least 30 days old) and linked to an active website, not just a placeholder page. Additionally, your domain should have an MX record, serving as a directional sign that guides emails to the correct server.
In summary, these changes in email compliance are not just minor adjustments but pivotal shifts in how we handle email communication. Adhering to these new standards is essential for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of your email strategy.
