New authentication requirements for HubSpot email marketing

 

Attention HubSpot email marketers: with only a few days left until Google and Yahoo enforce new email authentication requirements, you need to make sure your important emails reach your audience's inboxes smoothly.

From February 2024, Google and Yahoo will require DMARC, DKIM and SPF for all bulk email senders. Without proper authentication, there is a risk that emails will be blocked or marked as spam.

HubSpot recognizes the potential challenges this change presents and has developed resources and support to help email marketers make a smooth transition. Their guides provide step-by-step instructions on how to configure DKIM, SPF and DMARC protocols to ensure high deliverability of your email campaigns.
