Email Deliverability (Emails going to Spam)

If you’re noticing that emails sent via QuickSchools are going to SPAM, you basically have 2 options. The first option, if you have your own domain, is to set up your SPF records to allow emails to be sent via relay.quickschools.com (or mailgun.com). We will be writing up a separate article on how to do this.

The other option is to send emails using the quickschools.com domain. Schools can now request for this to be enabled (especially if you don’t have your own domain). Although the “Sender” will say quickschools.com, the “Reply-To” field will still refer back to the actual sender. 

If you’re interested in trying out this feature, please reach out to our support team.
