/ Why proper email authentication records matter.

Email is a vital communication tool, but it’s also a common target for cybercriminals aiming to impersonate domains and launch phishing or spam attacks. Without proper email authentication, your domain can be misused by attackers, jeopardizing your reputation and the security of your recipients. Implementing and maintaining up-to-date SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records is crucial for protecting your domain. These protocols work together to ensure only authorized sources can send emails on your behalf, helping to block fraudulent messages and improve trust in your communications.

Our domain scanner evaluates your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to help you strengthen your email security. Here’s what each protocol does, and what the color-coded results mean:

SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

SPF verifies that incoming mail from your domain is sent from authorized servers.

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)

DKIM allows your domain to digitally sign outgoing messages, confirming their legitimacy.

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

DMARC builds on SPF and DKIM, letting you specify how to handle emails that fail authentication and providing visibility into domain abuse.

By regularly scanning and improving your email authentication records, you can secure your domain, enhance deliverability, and protect your organization and your audience from email-based threats.
