Google and Yahoo are rolling out stricter guidelines for email sending starting February 2024 — and recruiters are (rightfully!) anxious about how this may impact their outreach.
In this episode, we break down these new anti-spam rules with Loxo’s CTO, Ilia Cheishvili. The new guidelines include authenticating outgoing emails, avoiding unsolicited emails, and simplifying unsubscribing — but it’s complex.
We dissect SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and DNS requirements, aiming to understand their impact — and along the way, we of course share actionable tips to help you avoid trouble and stay out of email purgatory.
