I need to setup a sender identity on sendgrip.com but before i create them, is say the ".gmail" extension is not recommended.
I learn is because the DMARC and i understand, but is say gmail, outlook, yahoo, aol and a lot other none write have a DMARC.
So my question what i need to use ?? Or best question what is the best extension in this case ?
(https://sendgrid.com/docs/ui/sending-email/dmarc/)
Thanks a lot for you help !
As stated in How DMARC Applies to a Sender Identity, email service providers like Sendgrid assume that you have your own registered domain such as raphaelr.com and that you have access to the DNS records for that domain.
You can then setup Domain Authentication by creating the appropriate CNAME DNS records:

I did a lot of research through internet but I didn't found the solution. I'm trying to send a confirmation email using Mail::send() in laravel 5.1, I don't want to use any third party like mailgun or mandrill because they are not free sometimes limited of usage. The problem with this is all of the confirmation of the users is in their spam folder in gmail, and trash folder in outlook. Sometimes they didn't receive the confirmation. Why is that? Do you have any idea with this? My website is also registered to https so I don't think this is the problem.
.env
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mail.mywebsite.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=email#mywebsite.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=mypassword
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
Landing of an email into Spam is nothing to do with Laravel.
Either you have to change the TXT record of your domain.
You can check it on mail-tester which values need to be changed.

You might wanna try testing at Mail Tester. This can reveal a lot of information on why your emails are ending up in spam. I also recommend checking SPF and DKIM checking at SPF & DKIM checking at the same site.
Also are you hosting your emails with your hosting provider or some other third-parties like GSuite or Microsoft Exchange? These providers can influence the mail quality and spam checking greatly.
The spam classification of emails is to the discretion of the receiving mail server. There are a couple of best pratices to follow, when trying to avoid being marked as spam:
Make sure the sending server (smtp server) is allowed through
SPF
DKIM
DMARC
MX records
Further, the recipient server may check for bulk content with decentralized solutions like razor, pyzor or DCC. So, try to personalize the messages and not send bulk content. Its hard to evaluate your situation without specifics. Another problem may be the sending webserver if its in or from a country with "bad reputation" (like Russia, China). Since mail server also check the Original-IP of the email and potentially flag them as well.

DKIM:

To check your settings, it helps to use mail testing solutions visualizing those mentioned factors as mentioned by other answers.
Current email deliverability professional here. If you are willing to share the domain you are sending from, and the IP address initiating the sends I'm happy to check for any obvious problems.
I also heartily recommend mail-tester.com as I use it almost daily. If you want to share the link to the report I'm happy to help interpret.
The other thing to be aware of is, that IP addresses have a sender reputation that is tracked in the Email ecosystem at large. If it's a new sending IP address it has to get warmed up. Just like you cannot get a credit card with no limit as soon as you turn 21, Inbox Providers like Gmail and Hotmail are not just going to deliver everything a new sending IP starts trying to deliver to their recipients. They will essentially do some A/B testing by delivering some to the Inbox and some to the Spam/Promotions folder, and see how their recipients interact with your mailings. Gmail and thus other inbox providers are primarily concerned with how recipients interact with your mailings. Do they open, do they click links, do they add you to safe senders, etc.

We've been using Mandrill for years to deploy our app's signup confirmation and password reset emails. This has worked perfectly as we've had SPF and DKIM records added to the DNS configuration according to Mandrill's documentation for verifying sending domains.
However, after merging the Mandrill account with a new Mailchimp account--which is mandated by April 27th--it's requiring me to send a verification email to an address at that domain. The problem is that we don't have a mail server set up to receive emails. The domain is only used to send the "noreply#domain.com" emails.
Any ideas on how I might resolve this? Mailchimp is not giving an option to undo the merge, so effectively I have an app that users are not able to sign up for at the moment, which is problematic to say the least.
You'll want to configure at least one mailbox on that domain somehow to receive mail. That's the only way to confirm ownership of the domain.
I would like to configure Heroku and Mailgun to send email from and allow me to receive webhooks (which are POSTs Mailgun sends notifying me of email sending statuses) at a [myapp.]herokuapp.com domain while buying as few additional things as possible. I don't want to buy another domain name, but it doesn't appear that I can avoid that. I'd like to avoid buying another SSL endpoint; it doesn't appear to be necessary and I don't need privacy. What do I need to buy?
The cheapest way to do what you want is to use a custom domain name, add it to Heroku, then verify your domain with mailgun.
You can add custom domains to your Heroku app by running: heroku domains:add www.mydomain.com
Once you've done this (and updated your DNS provider to point to yourapp.herokuapp.com, you can then modify your DNS records for Mailgun to verify your domain.
Once you have that working, you should be good!
Since you can't modify Heroku's DNS servers, you need to do it this way.
This is more a subquestion as the answer.
Just to send emails, I think you can
have Free plan and send to allowed (max 5) recipients,
have Concept plan and send to all recipients; you must enter credit card but you can limit count of messages to 10000/month which is free. For this you will need your domain, however, when you will use a subdomain like myheroku.example.com in TXT DNS-entries, then you can use such domain for any other goals (ie send from more servers, point to other IP or so).
Could somebody confirm this? or make it more clear...
We are looking to build a new website that is specifically for commercial/business use. We need to only allow 'business' email addresses register. So users with Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc cannot apply with those email addresses.
Is there a way to do this, other than creating a blacklist of domains such as gmail.com, hotmail.com etc? It will be an international site - so it will be impossible to blacklist all of the public email providers.
Thanks
Ian
As others have stated, it doesn't really make much sense to try to detect a business customer based on his email domain, but if you really wanna go down that road, blacklisting is your best bet. The spamassassin freemail plugin provides a good default blacklist:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk/rules/20_freemail_domains.cf
Small businesses are having #gmail.com addresses (and some people are not able to configure their gmail to redirect emitting email address to something else).
Some big businesses may have internal policies disallowing such subscriptions with the company email, so some people there would also use a #gmail.com address for that.
So I would not filter out such email addresses.
Private individuals occasionally run their own email servers as well. Consider:
a) Person (A) registers a domain from a registrar like gandi.net, and signs up for their email service and hosted blog.
b) Company (B) registers a domain from the same registrar and signs up for their email service.
There is no way for you to differentiate, technically, between these two. They will even share the same mail server [which can serve multiple domains].
There are some online services which do provide these services (Email Verifications).
Take a look here:

hi i have a little problem here.
i searched on google for this but nothing gud is available.
i had a application with more than 2000 ids.
i just want to find out whether those ids are registered in Hotmail or not. If possible i want to use the Hotmail api to check the availability of the id in hotmail.
Thanks
Hotmail (or any other email provider) will not give you this facility, because it will open the main doors for spammers. They can validate the id and then enjoy.
