SPF, DKIM, and DMARC Configuration, Monitoring, and Ongoing Management

Email is still one of the most critical business communication tools, and also one of the most fragile. With increasingly strict filtering standards introduced by major providers like Google, even small configuration errors can result in lost emails, spam placement, or silent filtering.

Searchen Networks provides professional email troubleshooting and authentication services designed to ensure your emails are properly authenticated, trusted, and delivered consistently to inboxes.

This is not a one-time setup. Modern email systems require active management, auditing, and adjustment as providers continue to tighten enforcement.

Why Email Deliverability Is Failing for Many Businesses

Many domains appear “configured” but are not compliant with today’s enforcement standards. Common issues include:

Incomplete or conflicting SPF records
DKIM keys that exist but are not consistently applied
DMARC policies set but never enforced
Multiple mail services sending from one domain without alignment
Legacy DNS entries from past providers
No visibility into authentication failures

In today’s environment, these issues are enough to cause delivery failures — even if email worked fine for years.

Our Email Authentication & Troubleshooting Services

SPF Record Analysis & Optimization

We audit your SPF records to ensure only authorized servers are permitted to send email on your behalf.

Our service includes:

SPF syntax validation
Removal of deprecated or unused senders
DNS lookup limit optimization
Consolidation of multiple SPF entries
Alignment with all active mail services

DKIM Setup, Validation & Key Management

DKIM is now a core trust signal, not an optional enhancement.

We provide:

DKIM key generation and deployment
Verification of active DKIM signing
Alignment with your visible From domain
Key length and security validation
Multi-service DKIM coordination

DMARC Policy Configuration & Enforcement

DMARC defines how receiving servers should treat unauthenticated mail — and it is now heavily weighted in filtering decisions.

Our DMARC services include:

DMARC record creation and validation
Reporting setup and interpretation
Alignment troubleshooting
Gradual enforcement strategy (none → quarantine → reject)
Ongoing monitoring and adjustment

Email API & Third-Party Sending Service Integration

Modern websites and applications often rely on email APIs and third-party sending platforms instead of traditional mail servers. Whether you are sending transactional emails, system notifications, password resets, or high-volume messages, proper configuration is critical to maintain deliverability.

Searchen Networks has hands-on experience configuring and managing email delivery through platforms such as SendGrid, as well as similar API-based email services.

Our support includes:

Email API integration and configuration
Domain authentication within third-party platforms
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment for API senders
Dedicated sending domain setup
Web application and form delivery testing
Troubleshooting API-based delivery failures
Coordinating API senders with existing mail systems

API-based email introduces additional complexity — especially when combined with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, CRM platforms, or website-generated email. We ensure all sending sources are properly authorized and aligned, so one system does not inadvertently cause another to fail.

Advanced Email Troubleshooting & Diagnostics

When emails are delayed, filtered, or disappearing entirely, we perform deep-level diagnostics, including:

Header analysis and authentication tracebacks
Gmail-specific filtering behavior analysis
Domain reputation evaluation
Transactional vs marketing email separation
Server and relay configuration checks
DNS propagation and TTL verification

This allows us to identify why messages are failing — not just guess.

Ongoing Email Deliverability Management (Monthly Service)

Email authentication is no longer “set it and forget it.” Filters evolve, providers change enforcement, and businesses add new tools that send mail.

Our ongoing service typically includes:

Continuous SPF, DKIM, and DMARC monitoring
Alerting for authentication failures
DNS change validation
New sender onboarding support
Periodic deliverability audits
Proactive adjustments as standards change

This service is well-suited for businesses that rely on:

Lead forms
CRM systems
Transactional emails
Invoicing and billing systems
Customer support platforms

Many email delivery problems originate from untracked or misconfigured API senders that quietly break SPF or DKIM alignment. As email filtering standards become stricter, these issues increasingly result in spam placement or silent blocking.

By managing both traditional email systems and API-based senders together, Searchen Networks provides end-to-end email deliverability oversight — not fragmented fixes.
