Here are some examples of how to sound polished and professional when communicating via email or text.
Tired of having your emails go into client junk / spam folders? You can increase the deliverability of your emails while protecting your brand and clients using free tools to create SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. With these free records in place, you can help block phishing, ransomware, and spam messages.
Email service providers like Gmail and Office 365 are increasingly sending unauthenticated emails to spam or rejecting them outright. This article will show you how to add an SPF, DKIM and DMARC record to your domain to help prevent this while keeping most malicious actors out. Note, this article is only intended for my personal use and comes with no guarantee of any kind.
However, be aware of the security risks involved with DMARC.

When you first setup your WordPress website, the wp_mail() function (which handles sending email), defaults to “WordPress” as a email sender name and “wordpress@” for all outgoing emails. For this reason, I have always made it a point to establish a “wordpress@” email address when setting up any client account to reduce email delivery issues.
But this is a pain and requires someone monitor the account or have messages forwarded to another one. It also doesn’t look very professional to receive such WordPress branded emails from what should be a trusted company brand.
Why Change the Default WordPress Sender Name and Email Address?
You can use any number of contact form plugins to receive email messages from your web site. However, if it’s WordPress that is sending out a WordPress email, then the mailto function will default to: WordPress <wordpress@>.
Outgoing email notifications are important, and you should be using your own brand and web site email address. This increases the authenticity of your brand, product or service as well as name recognition among your visitors and subscribers. No doubt, to a subscriber, receiving an email from WordPress <wordpress@> looks very unprofessional. It may even result in email delivery issues due to Internet Service Providers and end user email spam filters.
Introducing WPFrom Email, a free WordPress Plugin aimed at helping you quickly and easily update the default WordPress sender FROM Name and Email Address.
Verifying and authenticating your domain for use with your MailChimp email marketing campaign is relatively simple. Allow me to show you how to do this.
Before I do, let me answer the question why would you want to do this? This form of authentication allows your email campaigns to appear as if they were coming from your domain rather than MailChimp.com. In short, it looks more personal and professional.
