SPF and DKIM failure through Gmail

Question

Hi Guys,

First-time poster here.

I'm using SES. My DKIM and SPF authentications are failing. I've added SES's SMPT credentials to my Gmail account and I send the email through Gmail.

What should I do to authenticate my emails?  This is the last DMARC report's relevant section I think:

//

209.85.214.180
			1
			
				quarantine
				fail
				fail

gmail.com
			emasons.tech

gmail.com
				pass

//

Thank you!

Hi,

First of all you should set a DKIM for your domain via SES. You can use Easy DKIM setup. Here is the steps:

**To set up Easy DKIM for a domain**
    
1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon SES console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/

2. In the navigation pane, under **Configuration**, choose **Verified identities**.
3. In the list of identities, choose an identity where the **Identity type** is Domain.
4. Under the **Authentication** tab, in the **DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)** container, choose **Edit**.
5. In the **Advanced DKIM settings** container, choose the **Easy DKIM** button in the **Identity type** field.
6. In the **DKIM signing key length** field, choose either **RSA_2048_BIT or RSA_1024_BIT**.
7. In the **DKIM signatures** field, check the **Enabled** box.

Choose **Save changes**.

Now that you’ve configured your domain identity with Easy DKIM, you must complete the verification process with your DNS provider.
