This is the kind of videos that you would love to have the creator in front of you so you can give him a huge hug and invite him to an expensive dinner wherever he wants to

Thanks steward it's incredible that you explain it 20 times better than Google itself! Keep grinding

Sometimes I really don't know where I would be without YouTube. Thank you for this extremely brief and clear tutorial.

I was so overwhelmed when my email failed to deliver and the instructions given by Google were not clear at all. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Thank you so much for making this video. Google is now requiring all Shopify stores to have Dmarc set up for feb 1st 2024, and the google information on this subject is very confusing for people like me with very little knowledge of this stuff. Your video was so simple, and worked great. You saved me and took a huge stress away from me.

Thank You have no idea how much this tutorial has helped me. I am a new small business owner and all of this is Chinese to me. I have no idea what I just did but I did it, and may the computer gods be satisfied.

[MattTheriot]

What an excellent video! Straight, clear, to the point. A lot of online guides are filled with fluff to buff the time, but this was direct, thank you for this very helpful guide.

This was really useful, I was able to apply this to my Wix business email and website (gmail based email) in the UK. It’s worked perfectly, thank you. Now my emails have been going through to my clients without been rejected, before I had a high rejection rate which is really frustrating when you’re trying to run a business! Thanks! I also ran the test which you show at the end before and after applying the changes and the update was immediate.

Outstanding! FYI for those using Wix with a domain purchased through Google Domains: SPF and DMARK settings will be in your Wix account, not Google Domains account. DNS settings obviously also have to be updated first.

Wow, one of the best "hand holding" tech tutorials on YT. I'm quite technical, but this goes over my head. Thank you!

[AtleighHomeGroup]

This was so helpful. I kept getting emails to Gmail users rejected because of SPF issues. Tried to use the Google resources and they explained it where only a tech geek could get it. This explained it step by step and now everything is going smoothly! Thank you!

[telboy]

Thank you for this. It's very simple and to the point. It's worth mentioning that third party senders need to be configured in both SPF and DKIM records

[Michi-]

that was brilliant ! .. so clear, simple - and thank you for NOT playing background music while talking. A++++

[ToryBrake]

Great video! Appreciate the super easy step-by-step directions.

I found this incredibly helpful. I did have a little issue with needing to split my DKIM record as I didn't originally notice the full thing wasn't pasting but thanks to the tool I knew the problem had to be from the value and not that I hadn't input a DKIM record. If anyone is having issues, that might be something helpful to check. I simply then just used a tool that easily split the record for me and was able to get it to work.

[kimduffy]

Thanks Stewart. You're an absolute star. I've watched so many videos on adding SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and just kept on getting errors. I was doing something wrong, obviously, but your explanation showed me where I was going wrong. It's now sorted. Thank you so much. You have a new subscriber!

[deronjohnson]

Hands down one of the best how to videos I've ever come across! Literally walked me through everything and the google tool at the end was very helpful as it pointed out some other potential errors! Kudos to you sir! Thanks so much! 🙂

[AkshayGopal]

The best video on setting up SPF, DKIM and DMARC! The google one is so bad I was struggling for 2 hours to figure it out..

[Jerod]

Thank you for this! These videos provide a lot of value

[hyat]

It's almost unbelievable that the official setup documentation from Google Workspace only provides information about the MX record and nothing more. After that, due to Google's strict email policy, emails don't arrive, and error messages follow. Why isn't this mentioned in Google's initial setup documentation? Many thanks for this YouTube video; it saved me!

I searched all over for this specific information, this was 😁very helpful and straight to the point.
