Gmail changed the rules. Yahoo did too. Who’s next? DMARCbis, DKIM2, blocklists, cold email, and Postmaster Tools. At #CaES26, @emailkarma.com, Raymond Dijkxhoorn, Attila Domokos & MJ Sohn sort out what matters. No 101. No pitches. Sept 24, Toronto: 🎟️ buff.ly/iq3u3Co

New blocklist alert: Validity's Heatwave flags domains using fake engagement to fast-track cold email reputation. Already 1M+ domains caught. M3AAWG and Spamhaus have both called this practice out. Worth a check if you use outreach vendors. 🔥 Read more: buff.ly/hi0VEgz #EmailGeeks

DMARC has officially become an Internet Standard. The new standards, often called #DMARCbis, retire several legacy tags, add new options, and replace Public Suffix List (PSL) lookups. I put together a practical guide on what to review in your DMARC records: buff.ly/bsMHV1C #EmailGeeks

Google’s new ‘AI inbox’ was enabled at work, turning it off was the easiest decision I made all day. Why can’t these features be optin vs just enabling then. (And yes I understand the idea most people just leave the defaults on). Settings > Inbox > way at the bottom is the disable option.

Took me slightly longer than expected to fix - mostly due to jet lag and sleep deprivation - but we are all good now. Should be fixed for the foreseeable future.

@cira.ca Your new portal process - feels half baked: 1 - Sends emails that looks like phishing. No aligned authentication. (Wicketcloud[.]com v cira[.]ca) 2 - Emails with unbranded links 3 - Missing postal address (CASL) in emails 4 - Leads to non-CIRA branded login page #Security101 #EmaiIsHard

A final thought to email in 2025: If you require a login to unsubscribe there is a significant chance people will just report your emails as spam as it's easier and faster than hoping a password reset email shows. #ProTips #EmailGeeks

Learned some pretty depressing information from a local teacher yesterday. She said about 50% of high schools students are basically illiterate now or read at a GR 5 level. They play audio books in English because the kids can’t read the actual books. 😢
