Gmail labels emails sent out as a potential spammer

Whenever I receive an email from the host I’ve set up through Google Domain, the message indicates in gmail that it’s sent from a potential spammer. “The Hooligans Mail could not verify that thehooligansagency.com actually sent this message (and not a spammer)” shows up in a tooltip when I hover over the contact thumbnail.

Now, I read through some documentation for google domains and netlify (and just general), and it looks like I forgot to add a SFP record here in netlify. So, I’ve gone in and added that, as well as a few other Google Suite DNS records (2 TXT records, one labelled as the google._domain_key). I assumed this would fix it, but the problem still seems to persist.

I thought this just applied to creating new records, but is it possible that updating these records could also take up to 48 hours to update? Is there any other way I can check to see if it’s done correctly before that?

Thank you,
Colin

This issue has been resolved. It was because the records were in quotes on google domain, but they needed to be added to netlify without quotes.

Glad to hear your SFP records are working, and thanks for coming back to let us know what the fix was :muscle:
