Understanding bulk sender requirements

What are the 2024 bulk sender requirements?

Starting February 2024, Google and Yahoo enforce stricter requirements for bulk senders. These include: SPF and DKIM authentication for all sent email, a DMARC record with at least p=none, valid PTR records for sending IPs, TLS encryption, one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058) for marketing email, and maintaining spam complaint rates below 0.3%.

Who counts as a bulk sender?

Google defines a bulk sender as anyone sending 5,000+ messages to Gmail accounts in a single day. Once you hit this threshold, you are permanently classified as a bulk sender. Yahoo applies similar requirements without a specific volume threshold — they recommend all senders comply regardless of volume.

What happens if I don't comply?

Non-compliant emails may be rejected, rate-limited, or sent to spam. Google enforces gradually: first with temporary errors (421 codes), then permanent rejection (550 codes). Yahoo may silently filter non-compliant email to spam without a bounce. Both providers have been progressively tightening enforcement since February 2024.

Which checks can this tool verify?

This tool verifies 5 requirements via DNS: SPF record, DKIM signing (checks common selectors), DMARC policy, MX records, and reverse DNS (PTR). The remaining requirements — TLS encryption, ARC headers, one-click unsubscribe, and spam rates — require inspecting actual email headers or Google Postmaster Tools and are shown as informational checks.
