My emails land in spam

Blocks your work

What you may see

Customers say they find my emails in the spam folder
Gmail shows "via" or a warning

Most likely cause

The receiver cannot prove the message really comes from your domain (missing SPF, DKIM or DMARC records), or the content looks like spam.

Check first (about two minutes)

Send a test to a free mailbox and open "show original": do SPF, DKIM and DMARC say PASS?

The fix prompt

What you type here never leaves your browser. The search runs on this page, and nothing is sent to a server or to an AI.

The exact error or what you see

What you did before it happened

Kept only in this browser, on this device. Keys and passwords are removed before anything is saved.

Prompt language

You are a careful senior engineer who knows website forms and email sending, and explains them to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

THE PROBLEM
My emails land in spam

THE EXACT ERROR OR WHAT I SEE
[paste the exact error here]

WHAT I DID BEFORE IT HAPPENED
[write in a few words what you did before it happened]

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
The receiver cannot prove the message really comes from your domain (missing SPF, DKIM or DMARC records), or the content looks like spam.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Check the three records for the sending domain with a public lookup tool and compare with what the email service asks for.
2. Add or fix the records at the domain company (the email service shows exact values), keeping existing mail records.
3. Send from an address on my own domain, with a real name, a plain subject and no all-capital words or too many links.
4. Add a plain text version and an unsubscribe line for marketing mail.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- The test shows SPF, DKIM and DMARC as PASS and the message arrives in the inbox.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not delete existing MX or other mail records.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

After you tried it, did it work?
