We set up MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and Sender ID records.
MX (Mail Exchange) records
The MX record tells the sending mail server where to deliver the mail.
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records
Sender Policy Framework is a record that is used to help prevent email spoofing.
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is a method for associating a domain name to an email, thereby allowing an organization to take responsibility for a message in a way that can be validated by a recipient.
Email service providers treat domains differently based on their reputation. This “score” can be based on many things, such as the age of the domain name, how well the sending account has been set up, deliverability, engagement data from users receiving email from it, and – often to a higher degree – previous listings of domain names and IP addresses on anti-spam services such as SpamHaus.
You can use MXToolbox to check your domain and IP reputation against many popular blocklists.
Unfortunately, blacklisting sites (especially Spamhaus) are getting more aggressive when it comes to new domains being set up for cold email marketing and they do not list or provide specific reasons why a site will be listed.
This is based on their website:
