Authenticating Etumos Emails with SPF and DKIM
Why are my Etumos emails going to Spam?
If you have a problem with Etumos 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 Etumos emails being blocked is due to the Etumos emails failing DMARC, which in the case of Etumos, is usually due to a misconfiguration of SPF and DKIM.
How to stop Etumos emails going to Junk.
The first step to preventing Etumos 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 Etumos emails from going to spam, or at least rule out authentication as the issue.
How to remove ‘via etumos.com’ or ‘on behalf of etumos.com’
Another example of where a Etumos DKIM misconfiguration is to blame, is if your recipients report seeing the message as ‘via etumos.com’ or ‘on behalf of etumos.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 Etumos by logging in to your Etumos account to check to see if you have followed the following article to configure your Etumos dkim setup to authenticate your domain.
How to stop Etumos Failing DMARC
To ensure that your Etumos 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 Etumos’s own DKIM keys. However, in order for Etumos’s email to pass authentication for your own domain, it is necessary to use your own DKIM keys as per Etumos’s own guide. If you wish to verify the above, paste the message headers for a failed Etumos message into our Etumos email testing tool. Furthermore, you should also follow the instructions on how to set up SPF authentication for Etumos.
How can I gain visibility over who is sending with my domain?

How can I ensure I am compliant with Yahoo and Google’s 2024 Email Sending DMARC Guidelines?
