Welcome Note from Mitch Lapides, President

Is email authentication part of your email-marketing program? It definitely should be, since it plays such a major role in email deliverability. In this month's feature, I talk about why email authentication is so important and how to implement the primary email authentication methods used today.

Feature Article:
Email Authentication — Key to Getting Your Emails Delivered

In June's feature, I discussed what you need to know about email deliverability, including the importance of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, domains, and your email reputation. This month, I delve a little deeper into the deliverability issue by talking about email authentication — specifically, Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Sender ID, and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). These email authentication standards are key to ensuring your emails get delivered to subscribers' inboxes and, ultimately, driving higher conversion rates.
