My domain-based email is routed through Gmail, but I bought it through Squarspace, yet every time I write clients the messages either end up in their spam folders or bounce back from Yahoo with “authentication failed.” Here is what I have tried so far: I added and tweaked MX, SPF, DKIM, TXT and CNAME records following Google’s own guide, but I clearly missed a step because none of the standard tests (Gmail postmaster tools, MXToolbox) show a clean pass. What I need from you: • Audit the current DNS zone for the domain, spot conflicts or typos, and tidy up legacy entries that may still be propagating. • Generate and publish the correct SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so Gmail recognises the domain as fully authenticated and receivers like Yahoo, Outlook and corporate filters accept it without downgrading the score. • Verify everything with live tests—Gmail spam score, Yahoo acceptance, and a neutral third-party tool—then provide a short hand-over note so I can maintain the records myself in future. Acceptance is simple: when a test email to Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook arrives in the main inbox with “PASS” for SPF, DKIM and DMARC, the job is done.

Hi, I understand the issue — this is typically caused by conflicting or incomplete DNS authentication records, especially when Gmail is routed through Squarespace and older entries are still active. I can fully audit your DNS zone, clean up conflicting MX/SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, configure proper Google Workspace authentication, and verify deliverability across Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook until all checks return PASS and inbox placement is stable. I’m experienced with email authentication, domain reputation, and spam prevention troubleshooting, including Yahoo authentication failures and Gmail sender compliance updates. You’ll also receive a simple handover note explaining the final DNS setup for future maintenance. Ready to start immediately and diagnose the current records. Usman Bashir

Hi there, I will audit your Squarespace DNS zone, fix the SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, and verify delivery to Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook — all passing authentication. One common issue with Squarespace-managed domains routed through Google Workspace: stale default MX or TXT entries from Squarespace's own email service conflict with Google's records, causing silent DKIM failures even when the records look correct. Questions: 1) Is this Google Workspace or a legacy "Google Domains" email setup? 2) Do you have direct access to edit DNS in the Squarespace dashboard? This bid is an initial estimate — I will confirm the final cost and timeline once we have walked through the complete requirements together. Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

Hi there, I can fix your Squarespace/Gmail DNS authentication issues immediately so your emails stop bouncing from Yahoo and landing in spam. Your issue is likely a case of conflicting TXT records or a missing/incorrect DMARC policy following the recent Yahoo/Google strict sender requirements. I will run a full audit of your DNS zone, clear out the legacy entries, and correctly configure your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to ensure a high trust score. Once updated, I will run live tests across Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook to guarantee a clean "PASS" and provide a simple handover note so you can maintain it easily. Quick Question: Are you managing your DNS records directly within the Squarespace dashboard, or are your nameservers pointing to a third-party host (like Cloudflare)? Proposed Milestones: DNS Audit & Reconfiguration: Clear conflicting legacy records, then generate and publish correct SPF, DKIM, and DMARC policies. Live Testing & Handover: Verify inbox delivery (Gmail/Yahoo/Outlook) with 100% PASS results and provide the maintenance handover note. I am ready to run the first DNS check right now. Let’s get your email delivery back on track. Best regards, Nishat Sanzida
