Comment (by amanandhishoe):
The underlying issue is that sending email is no longer simple. Many mail
servers now reject messages when SPF does not align with the sending
domain, and DKIM and DMARC are effectively mandatory for reliable
delivery. This complexity is difficult to explain to users who simply want
a website and working email.
Email configuration itself is beyond the scope of WordPress core. However,
WordPress could provide guidance. For example, Site Health could check
whether SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records exist for the domain and show a
notice such as:
“Your domain does not publish SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records. Emails sent
from this site are likely to be rejected or placed in spam.”
