Hello, fellow warriors!

I'm using the email my-name [at] my-domain.com as the "from" address, when sending email via Aweber.

I have added a DMARC record to the domain "my-domain.com", because I also send email from it, without using Aweber, and the domain needs to be authenticated, so the messages don't end up in the recipient's spam folder.

I have also added the following in my domain's SPF record:

include:send.aweber.com.

I have created a message and sent a test to a gmail address of mine. For now, it did end up in the inbox. But when I receive the email and view the "original message" in Gmail, it says:

"DMARC: 'FAIL'".

This is no surprise, because the domains Aweber.com and my-domain.com obviously have different DMARCs.

My question: Do you think this is a problem? Is there something you would change in my set up?

AWeber doesn't require their customers to make any DMARC changes, so they don't have a comment on this.

But Gmail has many restrictions (and constantly adds more) and I don't want my emails to gmail email addresses to end up in the spam folder.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

  • You better have dmarc neutral than FAIL . Remove any dmarc records from your domain name and it will be fine if you have spf/dkim

    Thanks for the reply...

    I agree having DMARC in neutral will help with Gmail.

    But what happens when I send an email from my domain (I have a membership site that sends email notifications via SMTP to members)?

    In that case, won't the deliverability of the membership notification messages be impacted?

    That's my dilemma.

    Perhaps I need to use two different domains? One for the membership site notifications, one for sending more "personal" business emails?

    Thanks!
