Pops wants me to use my Gmail account for job postings… but I’ve already worked so hard on setting up my Email with Purelymail and a custom domain. I’ve never had an issue of my Email getting flagged as spam before, but in this instance I sent him a zip file with no message body and it was sent straight to spam.
My question is: would you bother using Gmail just to ensure your Email replies to interested HR people don’t get sent to the spam bucket? In my opinion, the use of a custom email address indicates flair to potential hiring teams - because it shows that you are capable of setting that stuff up. BTW my TLD is Senegal (.sn) to phonetically match my last name (it’s a really cool email) but the actual name header displays as my full name just like any other email address would.
You’ve got to be absolutely positive that your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are set up correctly and working. The , you need to monitor it like a hawk to make sure that you’re not blacklisted, but beyond that, should be OK. Your email domain could get you into the junk folder depending on the curmudgeonliness of the company’s admin etc.
