email authentication

Digital message validation

Email authentication is a set of technical standards that verify the sender of an email is who they claim to be.

Protocols like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC help mail servers detect forged sender addresses and filter out phishing attempts or spam.

The messages kept landing in spam until we fixed our email authentication records.
