I am new to weber. I was trying to set up my automated emails for my subscribers but apparently you can’t use a yahoo or gmail email. how do I get an email that I can use? do I have to purchase a domain or email. where do I start. this is all foreign to me

Hi Yvette,
When using any bulk sending service to send your emails (like AWeber), you will need to set up a domain-based email address (i.e. yourname@example.com) to send from to ensure that your emails can effectively reach your subscribers’ inboxes.
Email providers like Gmail and Yahoo strictly enforce this policy to prevent unauthorized senders from using their domains. This means that if you try to send email campaigns from an email address ending in @gmail.com or @yahoo.com, or others, those emails are destined to be blocked or marked as spam.
After obtaining a domain-based email address, you will need to set up DKIM and DMARC for that email address through your DNS provider to fully authenticate the email address for sending using AWeber.
Check out our main topic on DKIM & DMARC here for more information on how to set this up.
