SPF or DKIM
« on: February 06, 2025, 12:05:17 AM »
Recently I noticed that my emails to Gmail recipients are being kicked back.
message states that I need SPF or DKIM.
How do I enable it?

That is not very helpful since that is the first thing I did and only found instructions how to setup spamassassin for incoming emails.

Thank you very much @Jean-Philippe Pialasse
Will complete steps as per instructions and report back.

Try searching on the actual wiki search page next time, the DKIM page was the first one that came up when I tried it. The search on the forum page appears to only search the forum.
I'd suggest that future searches for information that may be already documented in the wiki be done via the wiki search, not just the forum search.

That's another thing, email bounce from Google said that I need SPF or DKIM, did not know which one is preferred method on SME Server.
Jean-Philippe Pialasse did not say anything and helped me much..much more with just one link, than long sentences of nothingness.

Helpfulness level:

You seem to have an ability to reject assistance unless it is provided in a complete step by step process that requires minimal effort on your part.

Criticizing others here who help is not the way to get yourself help in the future. People have long memories.

You have been here long enough and asked enough question to know you need to have a really good search and read before posting questions.

Sages was correct that your solution was at of the list on the wiki. It was a 2 second search.

Don't bite the hands that feed you.
...
1. Read the Manual
2. Read the Wiki
3. Don't ask for support on Unsupported versions of software
4. I have a job, wife, and kids and do this in my spare time. If you want something fixed, please help.
