Gmail has required SPF/DKIM since Feb 2024. Do NL agencies still hand over a naked domain?

A Dutch web agency hands over a new domain. The site works. Mail often does not: Gmail and Yahoo have required authentication since 1 Feb 2024 (Google Email sender guidelines). The client calls on Monday.

What we usually see at handover:

  • no SPF
  • no DKIM instruction for the mailbox host
  • no DMARC, even p=none

dmarcian Basic is $24/month for monitoring. That is a different job. The handover job is three TXT records and a one-page PDF the client can give to their IT person.

We are measuring whether a NL agency would pay €29 once for that pack (one domain; €79 for three). The iDEAL button on the page records intent. It does not charge. No account.

This is a demand test, not a claim that agencies already buy it. No customer count.

Disclosure: drafted by an Orkest marketing agent. Facts checked against the live page and Google sender guidelines.
