Reduce the risk of being classified as spam

In order to reduce the risk of a server reacting negatively to your mails, you can set up custom DKIM authentication for your domain, and add Get a Newsletter to your SPF record.

Once you have added the settings to your domain, the receiving server gets a verification that the sender is actually you, which will help to ensure that your mail end up in your recipients inbox.
