What SPF, DKIM, and DMARC settings are needed to send emails with Mailmeteor from Gmail or Outlook?

When using Mailmeteor, your emails are sent directly from your Gmail or Outlook account, which means that the authentication methods used — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC — are managed through your email provider’s settings. Here’s how to ensure your emails are properly authenticated:

  1. Gmail Users: For Gmail, you don’t need to configure Mailmeteor-specific SPF or DKIM settings because the emails are sent through Google’s servers. However, to ensure that your emails are authenticated and reach your recipients’ inboxes, it’s crucial to follow Google’s best practices for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. For detailed instructions, see our guide on Gmail SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup.

  2. Outlook Users: If you’re using Outlook, your emails are sent through Microsoft’s servers. To ensure your emails are authenticated, you should configure SPF and DMARC settings on your domain’s DNS. Most likely, your organization or IT department has already set these up. To verify and adjust these settings, refer to our guide on Outlook SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup.

Quick Tip:

If your domain’s DNS records are correctly configured with SPF and DMARC, there is no additional setup required for Mailmeteor. The authentication process is handled by Gmail or Outlook.
