Google has started automatically blocking emails sent by bulk senders who don’t meet stricter spam thresholds and authenticate their messages as required by new guidelines to strengthen defenses against spam and phishing attacks.

As announced in October, the company now requires those who want to dispatch over 5,000 messages daily to Gmail accounts to set up SPF/DKIM and DMARC email authentication for their domains.

    You can absolutely configure DKIM on a self hosted email server. This is a security play. If you don’t understand how to keep your email server in compliance with security standards, then I’m not sure what to tell you. The internet is getting less and less secure every day. I have a client with hundreds of international login attempts every day that all get blocked because of security features that make life a little harder but are very clearly worth it because they’re working.
