Hi guys,
Can someone point me to a guide or explanation on how to setup DKIM and DMARC? I am using PHPmailer and my emails go to SPAM for outlook.
Thanks!

DKIM requires some knowledge about generating certificates. However, PHPMailer’s DKIM examples should help tremendously: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/tree/master/examples
DMARC is just a record you add to your DNS after you’ve done SPF and DKIM. This wizard I found can help create this: https://dmarcian.com/dmarc-record-wizard/
I also found http://www.appmaildev.com/en/dkim which will help you verify DKIM, SPF, and DMARC.
Google’s answer here gives some other tips to take a look at: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126. I haven’t tried out Google’s Postmaster tools, but Gmail itself does provide indication if DKIM and SPF pass.
Hello, all
You can make sure that your mailing list is fully opted-in and that you’re using SMTP authentication.
Also to test the mail score of your emails you can use a website like:
and then send a valid test - an exact email with a valid - subject, message body, full signatures and attachments.
