Communication Email can only Send "From" Authenticated Outbound Email "@domains"
Verify Permission to Send Emails From @Domains - Needs to be Privately Held
You can no longer Send Bulk Email "From" Free Domains
(@gmail, @outlook, @yahoo, @hotmail, etc.)
Why - Email Services like Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, etc.
Will no longer deliver Emails to the Inbox from Non-Authenticated Domains.
(Emails go to Spam, Junk or are Blocked)
How - Add DNS CNAME & TXT entries to any Domain DNS provider
to Verify Permission.
(GoDaddy, Rackspace, Cloudflare, Google Domains, etc.)
You will need:
A) Email "@domain" that you would like to Authenticate to send From
B) Access to your Email Domain Host DNS Settings
