Email deliverability checklist

  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC are published and the From domain aligns with SPF or DKIM
  • One-click unsubscribe headers and a visible unsubscribe link are in marketing mail (Gmail requires both for senders of more than 5,000 messages a day)
  • Spam rate in Google Postmaster Tools stays below 0.1% and never reaches 0.3%
  • Inactive subscribers are suppressed on a schedule
  • New sending domains or IPs are warmed gradually
  • Signup forms use confirmed consent and bot protection
