Sender Policy Framework (SPF)

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) provides a mechanism by which MTAs can check if the host sending email for a given domain is authorized. Organizations define the list of authorized mail servers for a domain within a specially formatted TXT DNS record.

DominKey Identified Maik (DKIM)

mechanism by which outbound email is signed and validated by foreign MTAs upon retrieving a domain’s public key via DNS. The DKIM public key is held within a TXT record for a domain; however, you must know both the selector and domain name to retrieve it.

Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Compliance (DMARC)

Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC) is a method of mail authentication that expands upon SPF and DKIM. Policies instruct mail servers how to process email for a given domain and report upon actions performed

Name

Example

v

v=DMARCv1

p

Requested handling policy for email originating from the domain (i.e.

none

sp

Requested policy for subdomains

sp=reject

pct

pct=20

ruf

URI for forensic reports

ruf=mailto:authfail@example.org

rua

URI for aggregate reports

rua=mailto:aggrep@example.org

rf

Defines the forensic reporting format

rf=afrf

ri

Defines the aggregate report interval

ri=86400

adkim

adkim=s

aspf
