Over the last few months, there has seen a steady increase in mail being tagged as spam or being outright rejected by large service providers such as Google, Yahoo and Hotmail (Outlook). 
These providers have started to enforce that all domains must be setup with the proper authentication protocols such as DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework). We can provide you with the proper spf to use in your dns and generate a dkim for you to also add if you request it. Regards,

The bounce message below says:   "550-5.7.26 This message does not pass authentication checks (SPF and DKIM both do not pass)." I thought we fixed the SPF issue, and didn't use DKIM. Can you please look into what's happening. I'll try to call you later.
