Modern email authentication uses a combination of three methods: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. These methods help ensure that a message came from a sender shown in the From header.

By deploying DMARC, email senders can prevent spoofed spam and phishing emails from reaching their email subscribers and customers, protecting their brand and the subscribers’ personal data.

This post explains the basics of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and tells how to deploy DMARC properly and read DMARC reports.

Email is a wonderful opportunity for businesses to promote their brand and get clients. On the other hand, email facilitates the spreading of spam, phishing, malware, viruses and other fraud simply because it is difficult to tell if the sender is really the one it pretends to be.

Email authentication is becoming a big deal. Authentication allows the mailbox provider to confirm that the sender is the one who he pretends to be. If authentication fails, the emails are likely to be filtered as spam or rejected. Thus, email marketers should set up authentication records for their sending domains to increase the trustworthiness in the eyes of the receiving email servers.

And it’s important to regularly test email authentication records using an email spam checker to make sure that the messages won’t go to the spam folder due to a failed authentication.
