Ask Al: January review and reset for email senders
You survived Black Friday. You survived Cyber Monday. You survived Q4 and 2025. Now what?
In my first Ask Al video of 2026, I walk through what January should look like for email senders once the dust settles. This is the window where you can safely review, fix, and plan without risking revenue or inbox placement.
I cover what to look at now that Q4 is behind you, including:
Planning 2026 sending volume and infrastructure now, while you have the time
Reviewing DNS for existing sending IPs and domains (because that's causing you problems you might not even be noticing yet)
DKIM key cleanup and rotation
SPF record bloat and retired vendors
DMARC enforcement and missed authentication gaps
Why January is a good moment to think about adding a BIMI sender logo
and more
If you send email at scale, especially marketing or retail mail, this is the cleanup work that prevents ugly surprises later in the year.
