I can't send emails to any yahoo.com address.

My site is managed by a 3rd party so I couldn't directly change the DNS settings myself, because they're hosting it themselves (note: this was not supposed to be the deal, but that's another issue). I called tech support and they had no idea what this even was, and I had to explain it to them.

My email is run through Google Workspace and I'm not a "bulk email" outfit (reading, it's supposed to apply to them). I can't be the only one having these issues.

I haven't dealt with this in years and don't have to do it anymore, but it was always a pain in the arse. Have you tried asking Copilot or Gemini? That would probably be my first stop if I had to do it again. I know you said you can't update your DNS settings, but if their tech support is clueless you either need to spoon feed them what to do, or convince them to let you have access to DNS management.

Yes, you have to add the SPF record to every domain you email from. If you own the domain, you should have access to the DNS records. If you don’t have access to the DNS records, move the DNS servers back to where you bought the domain like GoDaddy.
