Fixing custom domain configuration problems for Azure Email Communication Services
by DuoCircle
If safe email communication is one of your priorities, you have to ensure consistent and reliable paths for messages to travel on. With increased instances of sophisticated cybercrimes, email service providers are also using strict filters.

by DuoCircle
If your business relies on email marketing, you would understand the pain of having your well-crafted and strategized emails land in recipients’ spam folders. As per a deliverability test conducted by EmailToolTester, almost 16.9% of emails don’t reach the intended recipients’ inboxes; out of these, 10.5% get marked as spam, and 6.4% go missing altogether. So, for example, if you tried reaching out to 1000 people through an email campaign, 169 of them won’t see your email in their inboxes.
Yes, you can create and update multiple DKIM records for your domain. In fact, it’s one of the best practices in certain scenarios.

What are the best practices to follow for managing DKIM keys?
by DuoCircle
When it comes to validating the authenticity of an email’s contents, DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is the go-to authentication protocol for most organizations. It does so by adding a digital signature to the email’s header. This signature helps verify that the message is actually coming from a trusted source and that its contents have not been changed during transit.
You may not know, but DMARC adoption among the top 1 million websites is low, with only 33.4% having a valid DMARC record. This means that a significant portion of these websites, that is 66.6%, are vulnerable to email spoofing and phishing attacks. 57.2% of these websites use a ‘none’ policy, meaning emails that fail DMARC checks are still delivered to recipients’ primary inboxes. As a result, 85.7% of the domains don’t have effective DMARC protection, leaving them open to cyber threats.
What is digital adoption and how is it improving email deliverability in 2024?
by DuoCircle
Digital adoption means using new technologies, tools, and systems to make various processes more efficient and less time-consuming. There are tons of apps and software that do so many things that we don’t have to do manually. For example, Whatfix is a Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) that helps organizations implement new CRM systems quickly and get accustomed to the new software with minimal disruption. For companies implementing internal tools like HR or accounting software, Userlane ensures users can navigate new platforms without formal training sessions.
