The good news is, we’ve made it easy to comply
with these 3 rules:
1. Send mail from an email address with a custom domain
Stop sending from @gmail.com or @yahoo.com email addresses. These email addresses are for sending emails back and forth to friends and family—not for sending your newsletter or
promotional email to thousands of subscribers.
For example, you’ll need to send from tara@tarashealthyeats.com (not tarashealthyeats@gmail.com).
There
are lots of places to register a custom domain, but providers like GoDaddy or IONOS make setting up DKIM as simple as a few clicks in AWeber.

2. Authenticate your emails with custom
DKIM
Once you have your professional email address with a custom domain, you’ll have to connect your email address's domain to AWeber for custom DKIM signing.
DKIM is like a digital signature for emails, a way for you (the sender) to prove you really sent the email and that it hasn't been changed by
anyone in between.

3. Set up a DMARC Policy
DMARC helps to make sure the emails you send are really from you. If someone tries to fake your email address, DMARC can help block those phony messages from reaching others, keeping your email reputation safe and sound.
You need to publish a DMARC Policy for your custom domain in the form of a DNS record.
