What the heck are SPF, DKIM, and DMARC!?

Feeling puzzled by SPF, DKIM, and DMARC? Think of them as the protectors of email safety, each playing a crucial role in verifying your emails are genuine and safeguarded against spam or phishing threats. These abbreviations are vital for keeping your email space secure, and getting to know them can greatly improve your approach to email safety. Let’s talk about what they do and why they matter.

Sender Policy Framework (SPF)

Imagine SPF as your email domain’s security guard. It verifies whether an email sent from your domain comes from an authorized sender list. Emails from unlisted senders can be marked as possible spam by SPF. This mechanism helps stop fraudsters from sending emails that appear to be from you.

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)

DKIM attaches a digital signature to your emails, acting like a seal of approval that confirms the email remains unchanged from the moment it was sent. This additional safeguard verifies that the emails are indeed from you and can be trusted.

Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC)

DMARC employs SPF and DKIM for an extra verification of an email’s authenticity. It instructs email services on actions to take if an email fails SPF or DKIM checks, such as rejecting it or flagging it as spam. Additionally, it sends you reports on emails that don’t pass these checks, keeping you informed about your email security status.
