  • That is 100% what im saying, yes. The sending server needs to sign all messages with a private DKIM key where the public key is in a dns text entry. Then the reverse dns lookup for the mailserver needs to match the SPF txt record. Then your DMARC record has to match the dkim and spf settings.

    Ive set this up for exchange at work as well as my own personal mailserver, which is just a debian server running postfix and dovecot.

    When you want to use gmail as a mailserver for your own domain, you set these three things up so that your messages arent all blocked.

    Keep in mind, you do not need these to simply send and recieve messages, but if you want to interact with the rest of the world you do. Email is too easy to spoof, so everyone has agreed on these protocols for authenticity.
