How do I meet Gmail and Yahoo bulk sender rules with Zoho Campaigns?

Send from your own domain, authenticate it in Zoho Campaigns with SPF and DKIM, publish a DMARC record, keep one-click unsubscribe working, and keep spam complaints very low. Gmail and Yahoo require these for bulk senders. Most problems come from sending as a free mailbox address, missing DNS records, or mailing old lists.

Gmail and Yahoo expect bulk mail to prove it comes from the domain in the From address. In Zoho Campaigns, add your sender domain and follow the steps to publish SPF and DKIM records in your DNS. Then add a DMARC record for the same domain. A policy of none is enough to start, as long as it exists and your SPF or DKIM align with the From domain.

Unsubscribe must be easy. Zoho Campaigns includes an unsubscribe link and processes opt-outs for you. Do not hide the link or remove it from templates. Check the current Zoho help pages for how one-click unsubscribe headers are handled in your account.

Complaints and list quality matter as much as DNS. Only mail people who opted in, remove contacts who have not engaged for a long time, and avoid sudden jumps in volume. Watch Google Postmaster Tools for your domain's spam rate. If a campaign gets complaints, slow down and segment to your most engaged contacts.
