Why Your Emails Are Going to Spam — The Real Cause
A DNS check is a useful starting point. Delivery issues can also involve your content, sender reputation, mailing lists, or email platform, so the next step depends on what the review finds.
Missing or Broken DMARC
Without a DMARC record at enforcement (p=reject or p=quarantine), receiving mail servers have no instruction on how to handle unauthenticated email from your domain — and many route it to spam by default.
SPF Record Misalignment
If your SPF record doesn't include all the services sending email on your behalf — your CRM, marketing platform, helpdesk — those emails fail authentication and land in spam even though you sent them legitimately.
DKIM Not Configured
DKIM adds a cryptographic signature to every email proving it hasn't been tampered with. Without it, your emails look suspicious to spam filters — especially at Google and Microsoft, which now require it for bulk senders.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC working together tell every receiving mail server in the world that your email is legitimate, verified, and safe to deliver. That is what stops the spam folder problem permanently.

How do I know if DMARC is causing my spam problem?
Use the domain scanner above — it checks your DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records in seconds. If your DMARC policy shows p=none or is missing entirely, that is almost certainly contributing to your deliverability issue. A free audit from Router ID will confirm the exact cause.
Will fixing DMARC break our existing email?
Not if done correctly. Our process starts with a full audit and a monitoring phase before any enforcement. We only move to p=reject once every legitimate sender is confirmed and aligned. No legitimate email is affected.
How long until my emails stop going to spam?
Your proposal confirms the review and rollout schedule. Email authentication, sender reputation, content, and sending practices can all affect delivery; we review the relevant causes before recommending changes.
Does this work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?
Yes. We work with all major email platforms including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and any custom SMTP setup. Our audit covers every service sending email on your domain's behalf, including third-party tools like Mailchimp, HubSpot, and Salesforce.
