We have been advised that 3 major email providers, i.e., Google, Yahoo and Apple, will imminently be implementing new email authentication requirements for all email senders. These new requirements will provide their users with a spam-free inbox significantly reducing the risks of direct domain spoofing and email phishing attacks.
As such, if you send out mass emails using services such as JangoMail, Constant Contact, etc. from your @iAInvestia.ca email domain, or a custom email address domain, your emails will no longer be delivered to recipients if the email security is not updated by your email provider.
To help you proactively manage this change, we are outlining the different scenarios that could apply to you and the next steps that you should initiate. As we are unsure of the exact cut-off date for each of the providers, we advise you to proactively handle this as quickly as possible to ensure successful email delivery.
NOTE: If you do not send out mass emails using a third-party tool, no action is required. Also, mail merge through Outlook is not affected by this change.
