Resolve Domain Email Deliverability Issues
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Messages dispatched from our cPanel accounts and from Mailgun land in spam folders across Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and other major providers. It seems that the domain has been blacklisted causing these issues.
Current state
• DKIM and DMARC are already live on the domain, but SPF has not yet been tuned.
• We only check our domain reputation from time to time, so we may be missing recent blacklist hits or negative signals.
What I need from you
1. Pinpoint the exact technical reasons our mail is being filtered to spam.
2. Walk my developers through the fixes in real time—DNS record adjustments, Mailgun settings, header cleanup, list-hygiene recommendations, whatever is required.
3. Verify success with test sends and reporting tools (Google Postmaster, Mail-Tester, MXToolbox, etc.) until mail consistently reaches the primary inbox at the big three providers.
4. Setup an email deliverability log to know which emails are being sent and their deliverability - whether it went to the spam or inbox. If we can know when it was opened is even better.
Acceptance criteria
• SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all aligned and passing.
• No critical blocklist listings.
• Live tests show 90%+ inbox placement for Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo.
You must be able to jump in immediately, communicate clearly in English, and stay on the call or chat while we implement each change. Once the issue is fully resolved, I will release a single fixed-price payment at your local market rate.
