Are your emails going to spam? Government entities not receiving your mail? This guide explains how to ensure email delivery in the Saudi market.

Correct Configuration: SPF, DKIM, DMARC

1. SPF

Type: TXT
Name: @
Value: v=spf1 ip4:YOUR.SERVER.IP mx ~all

2. DKIM

# Generate DKIM keys in cPanel
# cPanel → Email → Email Deliverability → Install

dig TXT default._domainkey.yourdomain.com

3. DMARC

Type: TXT
Name: _dmarc
Value: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourcompany.com

DMARC Policies:

• p=quarantine: Failed messages go to Spam
• p=reject: Complete rejection

IP Reputation

A shared hosting server IP may be blacklisted. كلاود (cloud.net.sa) provides a dedicated IP with every VPS.

# Check IP against blocklists
nslookup YOUR.REVERSED.IP.zen.spamhaus.org

Requirements for Government Email

1. Saudi IP: Gets higher trust
2. Mandatory TLS: All messages encrypted
3. SPF/DKIM/DMARC: All three without exception
4. .sa domain: Increases credibility

Conclusion

Email deliverability in Saudi Arabia requires: clean Saudi IP + SPF + DKIM + DMARC. The right starting point is a dedicated VPS.
