support request - email deliverability issues to Gmail from Connect

[skari.IISD]

Hi
We are unable to get our C&P Connect receipts to deliver to gmail. I've followed all the steps on the Email Deliverability article.
Here are the messages we're getting from our DMARC digests. I've also tried sending with "[email protected]" as the reply to.
Please advise on how we can fix this.
Thanks!
Siobhan

clickandpledge.cc is authorized to send on behalf of iisd.ca, however it looks like SPF and DKIM are still failing DMARC’s alignment test. DMARC looks at the Return-Path of a message to make sure the domain there matches the domain in your From address. If the Return-Path path doesn’t match your From address, those messages will fail DMARC’s SPF alignment test. Set up a DKIM record and check with this source about setting up custom Return-Path.

Good day @skari.IISD

We just reviewed your receipt settings and found it is empty. Would you please define the email addresses in the receipt settings as instruction in the following KB article and test it?

Hi
I should have specified - please look at 61338. We have two orgs. I'm confirming functionality in one before I create the receipt, etc. in the other.
Thanks,

Would you please share the order number for which you don't receive the receipt so that we can ask our technical team to review it?

[skari.IISD]

Hi. It's every order. I'm still setting up and we have not gone live because we are not able to send emails to gmail through C&P. But you can test with 61338-210910093333410
Thanks!

Good Day,
I have sent your receipt to two of my accounts: 1 hosted by Google and my primary account, which is hosted by Microsoft. The email to my gmail account was rejected due to your domain's DMARC policy. My suggestion is that you try one of following 3 suggestions: NOTE #3 is guaranteed to work

1. - change your DMARC record's Policy parameter "p" to 'none' . I realize that this defeats the purpose of DMARC, but your SPF and DKIM are still active.
2. - change your FROM and REPLY-TO email addresses to include a subdomain (since your DMARC's sp is currently 'none') e.g. your FROM: address could be [email protected]<yourdomainname>.<tld> . You will need to allow that domain to forward to your primary domain, but this change is likely to work.
3 - change your FROM and REPLY-TO email addresses to [email protected] - because this is the native domain name of our mail servers, this will work.

My suggestion is to choose #1 or #2 and do a couple of test donations HOWEVER - you should make the email address of the 'donor' an address that is NOT in your domain. It can still be hosted at gmail but it should be a different domain name.

Lastly - Please note that _custspf.clickandpledge.cc has 'include:_spf.salesforce.com' within the record, so you can drop it from your SPF record. Having it twice is currently not an issue, but there is a length limit. If you add additional "includes", you may run in to that limit.

Please let us know how your tests turn out.

Hi - just an update. We're going to try it with a subdomain. I've asked our email admin to set that up. We'll test it and then I'll update you here. Hope it works!

[skari.IISD]

That worked! We created a subdomain and didn't apply the DMARC security and we received our test email to a gmail account.

However, one related issue - the Reply To email address is not being respected. When I send a receipt, and the recipient clicks Reply, it goes to the email address in the From field, not the email address in the Reply To field. We can forward those replies internally, but we would prefer that donors use our main email domain and not the subdomain. Can you look into this as well? See the settings in our account 61338.

Thanks!

Hi - we still have an issue with the Reply To..

The Reply To email address is not being respected. When I send a receipt, and the recipient clicks Reply, it goes to the email address in the From field, not the email address I designated in the Settings for the Reply To field. Can you look into this as well? See the settings in our account 61338.

Thanks,
Siobhan

Good day @skari.IISD

We reviewed and tested the receipt in your account and it is working as expected. The email you have defined in Reply-To Email i.e. [email protected] appears as a Reply-To email address. Please see:

[skari.IISD]

Hi
So, in Outlook, receipts coming from the receipt builder are respecting the Reply to, but receipts coming from Send Receipt button on the individual transaction are not.
In Gmail, the reply to is not respected at all.
See the attached screencaps.
Thanks,
