Domain Authentication Using SPF and DKIM
SPF and DKIM are protocols for verifying the sender's identity in emails. Email providers use them to distinguish between legitimate messages and spam or phishing attempts. Without proper configuration, emails you send may be blocked or end up in recipients' spam folders. Proper domain authentication using SPF and DKIM improves sending reliability, ensures messages reach their destination, and protects your brand name from misuse.
SPF and DKIM signal to email providers that the email was sent from a legitimate source, helping ensure messages are delivered successfully and not blocked.
This article outlines the necessary steps to configure SPF and DKIM for your domain to meet email security requirements. Typically, IT professionals responsible for domain administration manage these settings.
