SPF, DKIM & DMARC Setup — Stop Spoofing, Reach the Inbox

Email authentication set up correctly for every sender on your domain. From $29 · 24h delivery.

Common signs: emails in spam, spoofed phishing and Gmail or Outlook rejections. Usual causes: missing DKIM, broken SPF and DMARC left at none. What we do: authenticate every sender and roll out DMARC safely. What you get: passing checks and spoofing blocked.

Our SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup proves your emails are really from you, so phishing emails that fake your domain get blocked and your own emails land in the inbox. A Codersarts engineer finds every service that sends email as your domain, authenticates each one and rolls out DMARC safely. Fixed price from $29 with 24h delivery.

What Are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?


SPF, DKIM and DMARC are DNS records that prove email from your domain is genuine. SPF lists which servers may send for you, DKIM signs each message, and DMARC tells inboxes what to do when a message fails those checks and sends you reports about who is using your domain.

Gmail and Yahoo have required SPF, DKIM and DMARC from bulk senders since February 2024, and Microsoft introduced similar rules for Outlook.com in May 2025.



Signs You Need Email Authentication


  • Your emails land in spam or are rejected by Gmail or Outlook

  • Customers received phishing emails that looked like yours

  • You send from several tools and aren't sure all are set up

  • Your DMARC record is missing or stuck at p=none

  • A security questionnaire asked about DMARC



Why Email Authentication Breaks


Missing DKIM

Some sending tools were never set up with DKIM.


Broken SPF

Too many includes push SPF over its 10 DNS lookup limit, so it fails.


DMARC never enforced

DMARC is published at p=none and never moved to quarantine or reject.


Forgotten senders

CRMs, help desks and billing tools send as your domain without authentication.



Quick Checks You Can Try First


  1. Look up your domain's SPF, DKIM and DMARC records with a free DNS checker.

  2. Make sure you have only one SPF record, not two.

  3. Turn on DKIM signing in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.

  4. Publish a DMARC record with p=none and a reporting address to start collecting data.


If the problem remains, our engineers take it from there.



How We Set Up Your Email Authentication


  1. Audit. We find every service sending email as your domain.

  2. SPF. We build one valid SPF record within the lookup limit.

  3. DKIM. We enable DKIM with 2048-bit keys for each sender.

  4. DMARC. We publish DMARC at p=none and collect reports.

  5. Fix. We fix every legitimate sender that fails.

  6. Enforce. We move DMARC to quarantine, then reject, on a safe timeline.



What You Get


  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC records set up correctly

  • Every legitimate sender authenticated

  • DMARC reporting set up

  • A safe plan to reach p=reject

  • Notes for adding new email tools later


Example result (illustrative)

A company sent email from Google Workspace, HubSpot, Zendesk and its app via SendGrid. Only Google was authenticated, and SPF exceeded the lookup limit. We fixed SPF, enabled DKIM for all four senders and moved DMARC to p=reject within five weeks with no lost email.

Who This Is For


  • Businesses whose emails go to spam

  • Companies targeted by spoofed phishing

  • SaaS products sending transactional email

  • Marketing teams meeting Gmail and Yahoo bulk sender rules

  • Startups answering security questionnaires



What We Need From You


  • Access to your DNS provider, or someone who can add records

  • A list of tools that send email for you

  • Admin access to your email provider

  • Any recent bounce or spam reports


Code and data privacy

We sign an NDA on request, work with read-only access wherever possible, and never keep copies of your data after delivery. You own all code, reports and notes.



Key Terms Explained


  • SPF: Sender Policy Framework, the list of servers allowed to send for your domain

  • DKIM: DomainKeys Identified Mail, a digital signature on each email

  • DMARC: the policy that tells inboxes how to handle failed email and sends you reports

  • p=reject: the strictest DMARC policy, which blocks failing email



Common Mistakes We Avoid


  • Publishing two SPF records, which breaks both

  • Jumping straight to p=reject and blocking real email

  • Leaving DMARC at p=none forever

  • Forgetting tools like CRMs and help desks

Frequently Asked Questions


Do I need SPF, DKIM and DMARC?

Yes. Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook expect them, they're required for bulk senders, and they stop attackers from spoofing your domain.

Not if it's rolled out in stages. We start at p=none, fix every sender, and only then enforce.

Usually 2 to 6 weeks of monitoring, depending on how many services send for you.

Yes, plus app email services such as SendGrid, Amazon SES, Postmark and Mailgun.



Make Your Emails Trusted Again


Email authentication is a small fix with a big effect on deliverability and phishing. Share your domain and a Codersarts engineer will set it up correctly.
