SPF, DKIM & DMARC — Explained Simply

Three protocols work together to authenticate your email and protect your domain from being used in phishing and spoofing attacks.

SPF — Sender Policy Framework

Who is allowed to send?

SPF is a DNS record that lists all IP addresses and mail servers authorised to send email on behalf of your domain. When a receiving mail server gets an email from your domain, it checks your SPF record to verify the sending server is permitted.

Analogy: SPF is like a guest list at the door — if you're not on the list, you don't get in.

DNS TXT Record
DKIM — DomainKeys Identified Mail

Was this email tampered with?

DKIM attaches a cryptographic digital signature to every outgoing email. The receiving server uses your public key (published in DNS) to verify the signature — confirming the email actually came from your domain and was not altered in transit.

Analogy: DKIM is a tamper-proof wax seal on a letter — if the seal is broken, you know someone interfered.

DNS TXT Record + Signing Key
DMARC — Domain-Based Message Authentication

What to do with failures?

DMARC ties SPF and DKIM together and tells receiving servers what to do when an email fails authentication — none (monitor), quarantine (spam folder), or reject (block entirely). It also requests aggregate reports so you can see who is sending email as your domain.

Analogy: DMARC is the bouncer's rulebook — it tells the door staff exactly what to do when someone tries to impersonate a guest.

Policy: none → quarantine → reject

How DMARC Works — Step by Step

Every email sent from your domain goes through this authentication chain

1

Email Sent

Your mail server sends an email to a recipient's inbox

2

SPF Check

Receiving server checks if the sending IP is on your SPF authorised list

3

DKIM Check

Receiving server verifies the DKIM signature using your public DNS key

4

DMARC Alignment

DMARC checks that SPF/DKIM results align with the From: domain in the email

5

Policy Applied

Based on your DMARC policy, the email is delivered, quarantined, or rejected

SPF Record Management & EasySPF

SPF records have a hard 10 DNS lookup limit — exceeding it causes SPF failures and broken email delivery. EasySPF flattens your SPF record dynamically, eliminating "too many lookups" errors regardless of how many sending services you use.

DMARC Journey — None → Reject

Most organisations get stuck in DMARC monitoring mode forever. We actively manage your journey from p=none (monitoring) to p=quarantine to p=reject — identifying and authorising legitimate sending sources before tightening enforcement, with zero email disruption.

Advanced Protocols

Beyond DMARC — Advanced Email Security

We also manage the next generation of email security protocols that most providers overlook.

🔏
MTA-STS

Mail Transfer Agent Strict Transport Security

MTA-STS forces email to be sent to your mail server over encrypted TLS connections only — preventing downgrade attacks where an attacker intercepts email in transit. We publish and manage your MTA-STS policy file and DNS record, with TLS-RPT reporting to monitor compliance.

📜
TLS-RPT

TLS Reporting (RFC 8460)

TLS-RPT sends reports when sending servers encounter TLS negotiation failures trying to deliver email to your domain. We monitor these reports to identify mail delivery issues caused by TLS misconfigurations or certificate problems before they cause email loss.

🌐
ARC — Authenticated Received Chain

Mailing List & Forwarding Protection

ARC preserves email authentication results across email forwarding chains — solving the common problem where legitimate email forwarded through mailing lists or redirects fails DMARC. Essential for organisations using mailing lists, distribution groups, or email forwarding.

🔗
Google & Yahoo Sender Requirements 2024

Bulk Sender Compliance

Since February 2024, Google and Yahoo require all bulk senders (>5,000 emails/day) to have SPF, DKIM, and DMARC at p=none minimum, plus a one-click unsubscribe. We audit and implement all requirements to ensure your campaigns reach the inbox, not spam.

Process

How We Implement Email Compliance

A safe, structured journey from zero authentication to full DMARC enforcement — with zero email disruption.

1

Domain Audit

We scan all your domains — checking SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS, and TLS-RPT records — and identify all sending sources currently using your domain.

2

SPF & DKIM Setup

We configure correct SPF records, set up DKIM signing for all your sending sources (ESP, CRM, helpdesk, etc.), and deploy EasySPF to eliminate lookup limits.

3

DMARC Monitoring

We publish DMARC at p=none, connect EasyDMARC reporting, and spend 4–6 weeks analysing all sending sources before tightening the policy.

4

Enforcement & BIMI

After all legitimate sources are verified, we move to p=quarantine then p=reject. With full enforcement active, we implement BIMI to display your logo in inboxes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about managed email compliance.

What exactly does this service do?
We implement, configure, and manage the full email authentication stack for your domains — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS, and TLS-RPT. Using EasyDMARC's enterprise platform, we monitor all sources sending email as your domain, analyse reports, manage your journey to DMARC enforcement, and alert you to any issues in real time.
Does this improve our email security?
Significantly. With DMARC at p=reject, any email that fails SPF or DKIM alignment is blocked outright — meaning criminals cannot send phishing emails that impersonate your domain to your customers, partners, or employees. This directly reduces Business Email Compromise (BEC) and phishing attacks using your brand.
Will this affect our existing email campaigns?
No — we take a careful, phased approach. We start with DMARC p=none (monitoring only) and spend weeks identifying and authorising every legitimate sending source before moving to enforcement. Your email marketing, transactional emails, helpdesk notifications, and all other legitimate email will continue to be delivered normally.
What is BIMI and do I need it?
BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) displays your company logo next to your emails in Gmail, Yahoo, Apple Mail, and other supporting inboxes. It increases email open rates and brand recognition. BIMI requires full DMARC enforcement (p=reject or p=quarantine) and a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) for some providers. We handle the entire implementation.
What is the SPF "too many DNS lookups" problem?
SPF has a hard limit of 10 DNS lookups per evaluation. Modern businesses use many email services (Mailchimp, Salesforce, Zendesk, Google Workspace, AWS SES, etc.) — each one consuming lookups. Exceeding 10 causes SPF to "permerror", which causes DMARC failures. Our EasySPF solution dynamically flattens your SPF record to stay within the limit automatically.
Does this improve inbox delivery rates?
Yes. Proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication significantly improves your sender reputation with major inbox providers. Authenticated email is far less likely to be filtered to spam. For email marketing, this directly impacts open rates, click rates, and campaign ROI. We also monitor your domain and IP reputation across major blacklists and manage delisting if needed.
What are the Google and Yahoo 2024 sender requirements?
From February 2024, Google and Yahoo require all senders of more than 5,000 emails/day to have: valid SPF, DKIM signing, DMARC at p=none or stricter, and a one-click unsubscribe link. Failure to comply results in email being rejected or sent to spam. We audit your compliance and implement all requirements to ensure continued delivery.
How long does it take to reach full DMARC enforcement?
Typically 6–12 weeks for most organisations. The timeline depends on how many sending sources use your domain. Simple domains with 1–2 sending services can reach p=reject in 3–4 weeks. Organisations with many ESPs, CRMs, and third-party senders typically need 8–12 weeks of careful monitoring and source authorisation before enforcement is safe.
Do you handle multi-domain organisations?
Yes — we manage email authentication for organisations with multiple domains, including primary domains, subsidiary domains, country-code domains, and parked domains. EasyDMARC's platform gives us a unified view across all your domains from a single dashboard, with consolidated reporting and alerting.
Is this service complicated to set up?
Not from your perspective — we handle all the technical work. You grant us DNS access (or simply share the records we generate for your DNS admin to publish), and we take care of everything else. EasyDMARC's cloud-native platform makes the ongoing management fully transparent, with clear dashboards you can access at any time without technical expertise.
