All services Email Security & Protection

Stop anyone from sending email as your company.

Right now, someone could send your clients an invoice that looks exactly like it came from you. We set up the records that make mail servers reject it, without blocking your real email.

Three records, in plain words

  • SPFThe guest listWhich servers are allowed to send email for your domain.v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
  • DKIMThe tamper sealA signature proving the message really came from you and wasn’t changed.selector1._domainkey → public key
  • DMARCThe bouncerTells the world what to do with email that fails: report it, quarantine it or reject it.v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:dmarc@…

From wide open to locked, without breaking real email

Jumping straight to “reject” blocks your own newsletters and invoices. We move in stages and fix each legitimate sender along the way.

  1. p=noneWatchCollect reports, find every service sending as you.
  2. p=quarantineQuarantineImpostor mail goes to spam while we fix the last senders.
  3. p=rejectRejectImpostor mail is refused. Your real mail flows normally.

We map the services that send as you

Microsoft 365, your newsletter tool, the invoicing app, the old scanner, and the impostors.

    SPF checks the provider’s domain, but the DKIM signature in your name is enough to pass DMARC.

    These are your real invoices. Switch to p=reject today and they get blocked, so DKIM has to be turned on with this provider first.

    Someone else is sending mail that looks like it comes from you. Once the policy is p=reject, receiving servers refuse it.
