What are DMARC, SPF, and DKIM, and why are they important?
SPF (Sender Policy Framework): Defines which servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of your domain.
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail): Ensures that emails sent from your domain have not been tampered with during transmission.
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance): Combines SPF and DKIM to provide an additional layer of protection and generates reports on any spoofing attempts.
These settings ensure your emails are properly authenticated, preventing them from being blocked, marked as spam, or worse, used fraudulently by attackers.
How does Domain Security work in BlackfishID?
The BlackfishID platform conducts continuous scans of your domain to verify that DMARC, SPF, and DKIM configurations are correctly implemented.
