Why set up your DNS email signatures?
- Your DNS is your electronic signature.
- Your electronic signature guarantees to Gmail/Outlook that you are who you say you are when sending an email to people having a Gmail/Outlook email address.
- Your DNS must be set up to have better deliverability (Having better deliverability means that a maximum of your sent emails will arrive in the inbox of your recipients and a minimum in their spam folder.).
- Your DNS must be set up to integrate your up-to-date calendar directly inside the email.
