Gmail
In June, Gmail updated their DMARC policy to p=reject, which means that any mail sent through a third party with a Gmail "from" address will be rejected (bounced) by most receiving domains.
While this is being done in an effort to stop spammers from spoofing email addresses, it has the unfortunate side-effect of getting in the way of totally legitimate senders like us. How will this affect our emails, but bulk and individual, thru Wild Apricot?

For some reason our own emails are now being marked as:
"This sender failed our fraud detection checks and may not be who they appear to be. Learn about spoofing"
We use our own custom domain and this has just happened now we have changed our event confirmation template....
before the reply to address was: info@.....
Which worked fine....
now the address is: events@........
Which is being called out for spoofing.....

Hello Pamela,
we appreciate your concern about email delivery, but I can assure you that there's no danger of undelivered emails, as it is improssible in WA to have gmail.com from address.
The from address is taken a custom domain name after appropriate validation, otherwise wildapricot.org is used.
In WA you can only edit a reply-to email address, which has no affect on DMARC p=reject policy.All emails sent through WA should be delivered as usual.
