Amazon SES, warning about Gmail & Yahoo Mail

OlivierF

Hello,
we received this morning an email from Amazon SES :

Hello,
In a move to safeguard user inboxes, Gmail [1] and Yahoo Mail [2] announced a new set of requirements for senders. Effective February 2024, the new requirements affect email senders who distribute over 5,000 bulk messages per day or have >0.3% of messages reported as spam. Failure to comply with the new requirements may result in Gmail and Yahoo rejecting message delivery to their customers.
For more information on the new mailbox provider requirements and how to comply, please visit the AWS blog [3]. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to AWS Support [4].

Do you think we need to do something on Acymailing configuration or ?
Thanks

Hi,

In order to ensure proper functionality of Acymailing, it is recommended to enable the list unsubscribe header. You can do this by navigating to Acymailing->Configuration->Mail settings in the Advanced section. Additionally, please ensure that you adjust your sending settings accordingly in Acymailing->Configuration->Queue process to prevent exceeding your sending limits.

Furthermore, it is crucial to configure your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records correctly. For DMARC, it is recommended to set p=quarantine or eventually p=reject. Please note that your email addresses must match the domain you are sending from; if your domain is example.com, then your FROM, REPLY-TO, and BOUNCE addresses should all end with '@example.com'.

If you have any specific questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know.

OlivierF

Thanks !
