Why is my email going to spam?

Almost always because your domain is missing or mis-configured email authentication — SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Since 2024, Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft require these records and quietly send unauthenticated mail to spam or reject it outright. Fixing the DNS records fixes the deliverability.

What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?

They are three DNS records that prove your mail is really from you. SPF lists who may send for your domain, DKIM cryptographically signs each message, and DMARC tells receivers what to do with mail that fails. Together they are what mailbox providers check before deciding inbox vs spam.

How much does it cost to fix my email deliverability?

Our one-time DNS Setup Help is $49 — we configure A, MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC for your domain, usually within 24 hours. The $299 Done-for-You Launch adds email setup, a basic page, redirects and signatures.

Do I have to move my domain to Modusdom to get this fixed?

No. We can configure the records wherever your DNS is hosted. Moving your domain to us is optional — though our mailboxes come with SPF/DKIM/DMARC set up automatically.

How do I know if my email is set up correctly?

Run our free email deliverability checker — it reads your domain's live SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and grades them in plain English, no signup required.

Email deliverability

Your email keeps going to spam. Let’s fix that.

If your messages bounce or land in junk — especially to Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook — it’s almost never your words. It’s three missing DNS records: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. We set them up for your domain so your mail actually reaches the inbox.

Why this started happening

In 2024, Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft began requiring email authentication. Mail from a domain without proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC now gets silently filed as spam — or rejected before it ever arrives. Nothing about your message changed; the rules did.

The fix lives entirely in your domain’s DNS. Get the three records right and the same email that was hitting spam yesterday lands in the inbox today.

SPF — declares which servers are allowed to send for your domain.
DKIM — signs every message so receivers can verify it’s really you.
DMARC — tells mailbox providers what to do with mail that fails the checks (and reports who’s sending as you).

Not sure if you’re affected? Our free deliverability checker reads your domain’s live records and grades them in seconds — no signup, no card.

The fix — done for you

Send us your domain. We configure the records and confirm when your mail is authenticated. No DNS knowledge required on your end.
