Learn More About Email and Domain Protection
Protected email authentication directly improves campaign data integrity and analytics readiness. When DMARC policies align with marketing sends, deliverability rises, attribution improves, and governance frameworks strengthen. Marketing and IT share a common goal: trusted, measurable email that drives revenue without exposing the brand.
About DMARC, SPF, and DKIM
DMARC builds on SPF and DKIM. Domain owners publish policies in DNS that tell receivers what to do with messages that fail authentication, helping ensure only legitimate emails get through.
DMARC reduces unauthorized use of your domain by defining actions for unauthenticated emails, such as blocking or quarantining them.
DMARC guards against direct domain spoofing but not every phishing tactic, like cousin domain attacks or display name abuse. It’s part of a broader security approach.
Most major email providers support DMARC, including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. It’s essential for any business concerned with deliverability and security.
SPF is a DNS TXT record listing which mail servers are allowed to send on behalf of your domain. It helps prevent spoofing by identifying authorized senders.
DKIM adds a digital signature to outgoing emails to verify the message hasn’t been altered and that it came from the stated domain.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC work together to verify sender identity, improve deliverability, and shield against spam and phishing.
SPF and DKIM are typically set up by the DNS/email administrator. DMARC should be configured to enforce decisions based on SPF/DKIM results.
