Who has made the changes?
Announced in October 2023 to be implemented in February 2024 were changes made by two of the biggest email providers in the world, Google and Yahoo, to “improve the quality of emails received” and improve security.
Google and Yahoo account for a massive market share of email accounts that will receive emails on the internet – over 27.5%. If you are a business sending bulk emails then there are now changes required to ensure and improve the deliverability of your emails to Gmail and YahooMail accounts.
What are the changes?
From February 2024, bulk senders of emails will need to:
– Authenticate their email with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC technologies
– Enable easy, one-click unsubscription in every email sent
– Reduce unwanted emails in users’ inboxes
