Why Email Security Matters
Email Authentication Benefits
- Prevents email spoofing and phishing attacks
- Improves email deliverability rates
- Protects brand reputation and trust
- Required for Gmail, Yahoo & Outlook delivery
Compliance Requirements
- SPF record mandatory for bulk senders
- DMARC policy required by major providers
- DKIM signing recommended for all emails
- MTA-STS enhances transport security
Email Security Best Practices
Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft now require SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for bulk email senders. Without proper email authentication, your messages may be rejected or marked as spam, significantly impacting deliverability and business communications.
- Implement SPF records to authorize sending servers
- Configure DKIM to cryptographically sign emails
- Set up DMARC policy to specify handling of failed authentication
- Deploy MTA-STS to enforce TLS encryption for email transport
- Use TLS-RPT for reporting on TLS connection issues
- Consider BIMI for brand logo display in email clients
- Regularly monitor and update email security configurations
