What this means if you sell to BankFirst Financial Services

BankFirst Financial Services receives mail through Google Workspace. Gmail requires SPF or DKIM from every sender and DMARC from bulk senders, and filters on reputation. A clean, warmed sending domain is the minimum. Before you send, run your own domain through the email setup checker and publish a policy with the DMARC record generator.
