Disclaimer: My startup is made to get user domains automatically onboarded to applications, DNS-related things such as SPF/DKIM/DMARC. It's a "Stripe-for-DNS" called cloudvalid.com.

I like the quality of this SPF/DKIM/DMARC guide. This is the industry I started out in, and I actually wrote the guides for SendGrid, Amazon SES, and a few other email products. I don't mind saying that author has done a better job at this than me.

That being said, I see SPF/DKIM/DMARC guides like this pop up with some regularity, but users continue to have the same level of comprehension as before. I think the nature of this problem is not one that lends itself to being solved by guides. It's the sort of problem that a user is really only faced with once, which means that they're not getting the repetitions in to warrant any long-term comprehension.

I'm naturally biased here, but if you're onboarding users with SPF/DKIM/DMARC to your application, it's good if you can just get them setup with automation.

Interesting. Not lot of startups out there talking about Domain Connect on their front page. Seems like a decent amount of overlap with my project TakingNames.io[0]. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk shop.
