Mail not delivered to Gmail or Outlook - what to check

With mail issues, sending the message, acceptance by the recipient server and later filtering by the recipient must be separated.

When this matters

The sender often sees only the symptom: the message did not arrive. Logs can show whether the recipient server accepted, rejected or delayed it.

Diagnosing delivery problems to Gmail and Outlook: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, IP reputation, SMTP logs and delivery confirmations.

Practical checklist

  • check SPF, DKIM and DMARC for the domain
  • identify message time, sender and recipient
  • check spam folder and recipient-side rules
  • ask support to verify SMTP logs
