Secure email - DMARC and SPF

Using DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a smart way to protect your email from spam and phishing scams. These tools help verify that emails sent from your domain are legitimate, which means only authorized senders can use your name. 

 

With SPF, you tell email providers which servers are allowed to send emails for your domain, while DMARC adds an extra layer by specifying what should happen if an email fails this check.

The benefits are clear: you can significantly reduce unwanted spam and scam emails, ensure that your important messages reach their recipients, and protect your brand’s reputation. Plus, DMARC provides helpful reports that let you see who’s sending emails from your domain, helping you spot any potential threats. By using DMARC and SPF, you can keep your communications safe and maintain trust with your customers.
