The Email Wars

I am not sure if anyone else has noticed this, I did by complete accident as I trouble shooting my wife’s email issues with Gmail ported to her Mac through POP3 (I know I should switch her to IMAP soon), but I cracked the email header file and saw that even her personal email has a domain keys record. I have never noticed this before. Has it always been there? Have any of you noticed it in the last few weeks or months?

What this tells me is the Google takes domain keys seriously and you should too. I took a look in the official Gmail Blog and the search did not bring back anything around this find. But there is an interesting post about how much better gmail is with spam filters than other clients.

So I dug deeper and went to Slashdot (the source for all super nerdy) and saw that they started doing it back in 2004. Where the heck have I been? And why had I not seen it before? They actually implemented it before Yahoo did in personal email.

Well chalk one up for email marketing history and make a point to get your domain keys set up as ASAP if you have not already.
