Email Authentication

SPF, DKIM and DMARC configuration for business email.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC are separate controls that work together. SPF identifies authorized senders, DKIM adds a cryptographic signature and DMARC evaluates domain alignment and defines how failures should be handled and reported.

What is the business experiencing?

Your domain has incomplete, conflicting or unverified email authentication and you need it configured without disrupting legitimate senders.

Why this problem deserves a proper diagnosis.

01

A broken SPF record can cause legitimate sources to fail authentication.

02

Missing DKIM removes an important cryptographic identity signal.

03

An aggressive DMARC policy deployed too early can reject legitimate business mail.

01

Inventory every legitimate sender

Before tightening policy, identify Google Workspace, website forms, CRM systems, marketing platforms, support tools and any other service authorized to send as the domain.

02

Build alignment deliberately

Authentication is useful when the visible From domain aligns with the identities validated by SPF or DKIM. That relationship matters more than the presence of three DNS records.

03

Move DMARC policy carefully

Monitoring can reveal legitimate services that are not aligned. Enforcement should follow evidence rather than a copied p=reject record.
