Correct. I had a subsequent email telling me it only applies to bulk! 😊

I found the below google blog post regarding the matter and it seems the text quoted by you omits the important word "bulk":



By February 2024, Gmail will start to require that bulk senders:
-> https://blog.google/products/gmail/gmail-security-authentication-spam-protection/

I didn't find anything saying these requirements will be applied to all incoming mails.

So it seems the occasional email to your friend who stubbornly refuses to get a proper email provider will still work without DKIM and whatnot (just make sure you send less than 5000 msgs/day to your friend and you should be fine as far as I understand this announced change of policy).

Cheers & happy weekend,
Christoph

We use email relay servers for our customers rather than each sending from their hosting server.



I have received the following missive:



>From the 1st February 2024, Yahoo and Google's email platforms will be enforcing a number of authentication requirements from senders, in order for emails to arrive to recipients successfully. Senders to either Yahoo or Google mail recipients will require:

A valid SPF record

A valid DKIM record

A valid DMARC record with the policy set to at least "p=none"

Any email which does not contain a valid SPF, DKIM and DMARC record will be rejected with a bounce back similar to "421 4.4.2 Connection dropped due to SocketError".



Whilst SPF and DMARC is not a problem what about DKIM?

We are using IP to authenticate senders on the relays.



Thoughts please.



Thanks



Colin
