Email Deliverability Optimization Using SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
Email authentication methods are a critical step in preventing someone else from sending emails using your domain address. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are methods of email authentication used to prove to mail services and ISPs that you are the authorized sender of emails from a particular domain and that your email sending server is verified. Use of these methods also proves to the recipient of your emails that you are the valid, verified sender.
SPF (Sender Policy Framework)
SPF authentication strictly specifies the number of allowed domain IPs that can send emails from your domain. When setting up SPF, the domain owner can add a record or file on the server that tells the receiving server which domains are actually allowed to send emails.
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)
Ensures that the content of your emails are not tampered with or compromised when going from server to server and emails are clearly identified from the other end. DKIM authentication is similar to SPF and is added as a TXT record by adding it in your domain panel.
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication)
DMARC builds on SPF and DKIM authentication to validate emails further by matching the validity of SPF records. This enables you to set policies and receive generated reports in case the DMARC validation fails.
