Any domain sending close to 5,000 or more messages a day to personal Gmail addresses must authenticate with SPF and<\/em> DKIM, publish a DMARC record (p=none<\/code> is sufficient), align the From:<\/code> domain with either SPF or DKIM, support RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe on marketing mail, honor unsubscribes within two days, and keep its Postmaster Tools spam rate below 0.30%. Every sender \u2014 bulk or not \u2014 needs SPF or DKIM, valid forward and reverse DNS, and TLS. Yahoo enforces substantially the same list but publishes no volume threshold. Since November 2025, Gmail has been ramping up enforcement with both temporary and permanent rejections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
