UNDERSTAND EMAIL AUTHENTICATION

SPF (Sender Policy Framework).

Think of SPF as your domain's guest list. It tells email providers exactly which servers are allowed to send email on behalf of your domain. When you add Mail Blaze to your SPF record, you're essentially saying "Yes, these servers can send emails for me." This prevents spammers from sending unauthorised emails that appear to come from your domain.

Understanding DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail).

DKIM acts like a digital signature for your emails. Each email gets a unique signature that proves it wasn't tampered with during delivery. When you set up DKIM, you're giving Mail Blaze the ability to "sign" emails on your behalf, proving they're legitimate and unchanged since sending.

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance).

DMARC is your email security policy enforcer. It tells receiving servers what to do with emails that fail SPF or DKIM checks. Should they be rejected, quarantined, or delivered anyway? DMARC also provides reports about who's sending email using your domain, helping you spot potential abuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I required to set up Google Postmaster tools?

We don’t require that our clients set up Google Postmaster tools, but strongly recommend that they do as it can help you monitor your sending reputation when it comes to Gmail audiences.

Why do I need email authentication?

With proper authentication you’ll see increases in inbox placement, build domain reputation, improve your sender score, enhance receiver trust as well as meeting industry standards.

Do I need all 3 types of authentication?

While the implementation of the 3 types of authentication is done separately it’s important that you complete all three. SPF verifies allowed senders; DKIM proves email authenticity and DMARC enforces your policies. This gives you comprehensive protection. Together, they provide comprehensive protection.

What happens if I don’t complete authentication?

Without completing the authentication requirements, you won’t be able to send out your email campaigns.
