Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Land in the inbox.

They are three DNS records that authenticate your email. SPF lists the servers allowed to send for your domain, DKIM adds a signature that proves a message was not altered, and DMARC tells inbox providers what to do with mail that fails either check. Adding all three is what proves your email is genuinely from you.

To send from your own domain, yes, and Mailsoftly makes it simple. The domain authentication wizard shows the exact records to add, recognizes your DNS host so the steps match your panel, and verifies the records for you. Gmail and Yahoo now require authenticated email from bulk senders, so this step protects your inbox placement.

Once you add the records, DNS changes usually take effect within a few minutes to a couple of hours, depending on your provider. Mailsoftly rechecks automatically at regular intervals and emails you as soon as verification completes, so you do not have to keep checking the page.

Authentication is the foundation of good deliverability. It lets inbox providers trust that your mail is really from you, which keeps it out of spam and protects your domain from being spoofed. Strong results also depend on a clean list, real engagement and honoring unsubscribes, all of which Mailsoftly supports.

Yes. Mailsoftly honors consent and unsubscribes on every send, and its reporting excludes bot and scanner activity so your numbers reflect real people. Authenticating your domain and respecting consent together keep both your sender reputation and your compliance in good shape.

Yes. Create your account free with Google or Microsoft sign-in and authenticate your sending domain on the free plan, no credit card required. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts get the quickest start; personal Gmail or Outlook.com works too, with lower sending limits while your account builds trust. Paid plans add higher sending volumes.
