Why it matters: email sender validation in plain language

DNS also protects how your email is seen on the internet. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC work together to reduce spoofing and help legitimate mail reach inboxes instead of spam.

Here's a simple summary:

SPF defines which email servers are authorized to send mail on your behalf.

DKIM digitally signs your messages so recipients know they're authentic.

DMARC builds on SPF and DKIM, providing clear instructions on how to handle suspicious emails and sending reports back to you.

Properly configuring these settings reduces phishing risk and improves the likelihood that your emails will be delivered successfully.
