The End of an Era: Celebrating 20 Years of Mail Hosting Service

The End of an Era: Celebrating 20 Years of Mail Hosting Service

Why transactional emails should always be DKIM-signed

 

Not every email that you send is important, but transactional emails— the ones that confirm your payments, send shipping updates, or reset your password—are especially critical. That’s not just because they carry important information, but also because your users need to act on it quickly.
