We’ve got some news hot off the press about changes in how Google and Yahoo want you to send those emails.
So, here's the lowdown on what you need to do as the sender.
As of February 2024, Google and Yahoo are tightening the screws on bulk senders (those pumping out 5000+ emails a day to Gmail accounts).
They want authentication, easy opt-outs, and no spammy business.
They've laid down two sets of rules – one for the big guns (those hitting 5,000+ messages a day to gmail.com or Yahoo/AOL addresses) and one for regular folks sending to gmail.com or yahoo.com/aol.com.
Here are the three important things you need to know:
👉 Authenticate Email: All senders must ensure SPF and DKIM authentication for their domain. Bulk senders need both, along with DMARC.
👉 Enable Easy Unsubscribe: Provide a one-click unsubscribe option through a list-unsubscribe header and include a visible unsubscribe link in your email.
👉 Spam Rate Compliance: Google's not cool if you're above 0.1% (never hit 0.3%), and Yahoo wants you under 0.3%.
Get those emails in check, or the internet police might knock on your virtual door. You've been warned! 🚨
We’re here to help with all of it (well, maybe not the last one). Our lives are prospecting, outreach and sales. We’ve been thoroughly enjoying meeting with a large variety of companies over the last month to understand their growth goals and provide guidance and support.
