Question 1

How do I fix email going to spam?

Accepted Answer

Start by checking: (1) SPF record is valid and includes all sending IPs. (2) DKIM is configured and signing outgoing emails. (3) DMARC policy is published (even p=none for monitoring). (4) Your sending IP is not on a blacklist. (5) Your email content doesn't trigger spam filters. Run the 360° audit for a complete diagnosis.

Question 2

Why isn't my DNS change propagating?

Accepted Answer

DNS propagation speed is determined by the TTL (Time To Live) of the old record. If the previous TTL was 24 hours (86400), resolvers can cache the old value for up to 24 hours. To speed up future changes, lower your TTL to 300 seconds before making changes. Use the Propagation Checker to monitor global spread in real-time.

Question 3

What is the fastest way to improve email deliverability?

Accepted Answer

The three highest-impact actions: (1) Publish DMARC with p=none immediately to start monitoring. (2) Ensure SPF includes all your ESPs and has fewer than 10 lookups. (3) Enable DKIM signing on all outgoing mail. Once SPF and DKIM alignment is confirmed through DMARC reports, advance to p=quarantine then p=reject.
