Authenticating Mythic Beasts Emails with SPF and DKIM

Why are my Mythic Beasts emails going to Spam?

If you have a problem with Mythic Beasts emails going to spam, that is, going to the junk folder of your recipients, then it is very likely an issue with your email authentication. Emails failing authentication, be they failing SPF, failing DKIM, or failing DMARC is common, as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are often not properly implemented by domain administrators. Often, the main cause of Mythic Beasts emails being blocked is due to the Mythic Beasts emails failing DMARC, which in the case of Mythic Beasts, is usually due to a misconfiguration of SPF and DKIM.

How to stop Mythic Beasts emails going to Junk.

The first step to preventing Mythic Beasts email going to spam is to retrieve a failed message and access its header information. This will allow you to quickly diagnose whether any authentication issues such as DKIM or DMARC are flagging your email as spam, instructing the recipient sender to move it to junk. Simply paste the email headers into our free Stellastra Deliverability Tool, which you can use freely with no log in required. Our deliverability tool should allow you to avoid Mythic Beasts emails from going to spam, or at least rule out authentication as the issue.

How to remove 'via mythic-beasts.com' or 'on behalf of mythic-beasts.com'

Another example of where a Mythic Beasts DKIM misconfiguration is to blame, is if your recipients report seeing the message as 'via mythic-beasts.com' or 'on behalf of mythic-beasts.com' and that the emails typically end up in spam or junk. The Stellastra Email Deliverability tool above will confirm this prognosis, however, you may also wish to configure DKIM for Mythic Beasts by logging in to your Mythic Beasts account to check to see if you have followed the following article to configure your Mythic Beasts dkim setup to authenticate your domain.

How to stop Mythic Beasts Failing DMARC

To ensure that your Mythic Beasts campaigns pass DMARC and get delivered to your prospects, it is important to ensure that DKIM and SPF passes authentication for your domain. A common mistake is to sign an email with Mythic Beasts's own DKIM keys. However, in order for Mythic Beasts's email to pass authentication for your own domain, it is necessary to use your own DKIM keys as per Mythic Beasts's own guide. If you wish to verify the above, paste the message headers for a failed Mythic Beasts message into our Mythic Beasts email testing tool.
