Organisations can authorise senders within an SPF record published in the Domain Name System (DNS). This record includes the approved IP addresses of email senders, including the IP addresses of service providers authorised to send emails on the organisation’s behalf. Publishing and checking SPF records is a reliable way to stop phishing and other email-based threats that forge “from” addresses and domains.</p> <p><a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="58f0b887-0e66-4354-89cf-8f329f902946" href="/au/threat-reference/dkim" title="DKIM">Domain Keys Identified Mail</a> (DKIM) is an email authentication protocol that allows the receiver to check that an email from a specific domain was authorised by its owner. It enables an organisation to take responsibility for transmitting a message by attaching a <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="f4c19727-b826-448b-a652-c0153a0dc643" href="/au/threat-reference/digital-signature" title="Digital Signature">digital signature</a>. Verification is done through cryptographic authentication using the signer’s public key published in the DNS. The signature ensures that parts of the email have not been modified since attaching the digital signature.</p> <p>Both SPF and DKIM help establish email authenticity and prevent common email security threats, like spoofing and phishing attacks. In the context of DMARC, these authentication mechanisms are used in conjunction to validate the sender’s identity. The DMARC policy, published as a DNS record, instructs recipient servers on how to handle emails that fail SPF or DKIM checks. By combining SPF and DKIM results with a DMARC policy, domain owners can specify whether to quarantine or reject emails that fail authentication, allowing better control over email delivery and reducing the risk of fraudulent emails attempting to hijack their domain name.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--space paragraph--view-mode--full space"> <div class="space__wrapper"> <div class="space__item space__md"> </div> </div> </div> <span data-smooth-scroll="true" class="anchor_link" id="toc-3"></span> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-columns paragraph--view-mode--full text-cols"> <div class="block-text-cols__cols block-text-cols__cols-1"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-column paragraph--view-mode--default block-text-cols__cols__item"> <h3 class="block-text-cols__title">How DMARC Works</h3> <div class="block-text-cols__body"> <p>For a message to pass DMARC authentication, it must pass SPF authentication and SPF alignment and/or pass DKIM authentication and DKIM alignment. If a message fails DMARC, senders can instruct receivers on what to do with that message via a DMARC policy. There are three DMARC policies the domain owner can enforce: none (the message is delivered to the recipient, and the DMARC report is sent to the domain owner), quarantine (the message is moved to a quarantine folder) and reject (the message is not delivered at all).</p> <p>The DMARC policy of “none” is a good first step. This way, the domain owner can ensure that all legitimate emails authenticate properly. The domain owner receives DMARC reports to help ensure that all legitimate email is identified and passes authentication. Once the domain owner is confident they have identified all legitimate senders and have fixed authentication issues, they can move to a policy of “reject” and block phishing, business email compromise, and other email fraud attacks. As an email receiver, an organisation can ensure that its secure email gateway <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="98710524-45bf-45c5-a6c7-700c1caf159c" href="/au/corporate-blog/post/three-strategies-enforcing-dmarc-inbound-email" title="Three Strategies for Enforcing DMARC on Inbound Email">enforces the DMARC policy</a> implemented by the domain owner. This will protect employees against inbound email threats.</p> <p><img alt="How DMARC Authentication Works" src="https://www.proofpoint.com/sites/default/files/dmarc_authentication.png"></p> <p> </p> <p>SPF authentication starts by identifying all legitimate IP addresses that should send email from a given domain and then publishes this list in the DNS. Before delivering a message, email providers verify the SPF record by looking up the domain included in the “envelope from” address within the hidden technical header of the email. If the IP address sending an email on behalf of this domain is not listed in the domain’s SPF record, the message fails SPF authentication.</p> <p>For DKIM authentication, the sender first identifies what fields they want to include in their DKIM signature, such as the “from” address, the body of the email, the subject, and more. These fields must remain unchanged in transit, or the message will fail DKIM authentication. The sender’s email platform will create a hash of the text fields included in the DKIM signature.

Some of the core advantages of leveraging DMARC include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Improves email deliverability:</strong> Setting a DMARC record in your DNS settings can improve overall email deliverability while preventing threat actors from delivering malicious emails using your domain.</li> <li><strong>Lowers the risk of email phishing attacks:</strong> DMARC effectively prevents and mitigates the risk of phishing attacks, which can be costly to an organisation and its bottom line.</li> <li><strong>Enforces sender policies:</strong> DMARC allows organisations to enforce policies via its DNS record, defining specific practices for email authentication and providing instructions for receiving mail servers about how to enforce them.</li> <li><strong>Protects brand reputation:</strong> DMARC helps protect an organisation’s brand reputation by preventing cybercriminals from impersonating their domain and deceiving customers and clients into releasing sensitive information.</li> <li><strong>Provides thorough authentication reporting:</strong> DMARC checks can help support an organisation’s email system by offering comprehensive authentication reporting.</li> <li><strong>Functions at scale:</strong> DMARC is intended to perform with internet scalability, making it an effective tool for large-scale organisations, institutions, and corporate entities.</li> </ul> <p>While many of these benefits overlap, the underlying function of DMARC is to better protect email through effective authentication and threat mitigation.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--space paragraph--view-mode--full space"> <div class="space__wrapper"> <div class="space__item space__md"> </div> </div> </div> <span data-smooth-scroll="true" class="anchor_link" id="toc-5"></span> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-columns paragraph--view-mode--full text-cols"> <div class="block-text-cols__cols block-text-cols__cols-1"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-column paragraph--view-mode--default block-text-cols__cols__item"> <h3 class="block-text-cols__title">DMARC Best Practices and Tools</h3> <div class="block-text-cols__body"> <p>Due to the volume of DMARC reports that an email sender can receive and the lack of clarity provided within DMARC reports, fully implementing DMARC authentication can be difficult. These tools and best practices can help ensure your organisation optimises DMARC.</p> <ul> <li>Publish policies to your DNS record that clearly define your organisation’s practices for email authentication and document instructions for receiving mail servers about how to enforce those policies.</li> <li>DMARC parsing tools can help organisations understand the information in DMARC reports.</li> <li>Additional data and insights beyond what’s included within DMARC reports help organisations identify email senders faster and more accurately. This helps speed up the implementation of DMARC authentication and reduces the risk of blocking legitimate email.</li> <li>Professional service consultants with DMARC expertise can help organisations with DMARC implementation. Consultants help identify all legitimate senders, fix authentication issues, and even work with email service providers to ensure they authenticate properly.</li> <li>Organisations can create a DMARC record in minutes and start gaining visibility through DMARC reports by enforcing a DMARC policy of “none”.</li> <li>By properly identifying all legitimate email senders—including third-party email service providers—and fixing any authentication issues, organisations should reach a high confidence level before enforcing a DMARC policy of “reject”.</li> </ul> <p>DMARC implementation can be complicated, but it’s a critical protocol in securing your organisation’s email channels and mitigating fraudulent activity.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--space paragraph--view-mode--full space"> <div class="space__wrapper"> <div class="space__item space__md"> </div> </div> </div> <span data-smooth-scroll="true" class="anchor_link" id="toc-6"></span> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-columns paragraph--view-mode--full text-cols"> <div class="block-text-cols__cols block-text-cols__cols-1"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-column paragraph--view-mode--default block-text-cols__cols__item"> <h3 class="block-text-cols__title">How to Create a DMARC Record</h3> <div class="block-text-cols__body"> <p>Implementing DMARC is a powerful solution to protect your email against impostors and fraudulent activity. Creating a DMARC record is the first step to protecting your organisation, customers, and brand reputation from email fraud. You can use Proofpoint’s <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="25e5a5fd-79d4-4c49-97ba-64bf3ad46ed3" href="/au/cybersecurity-tools/dmarc-spf-creation-wizard" title="DMARC">DMARC Creation Wizard</a> to create a record for your organisation or follow the steps below to get started.</p> <ol> <li>DMARC records are hosted on your DNS servers as TXT entries. Every host provider grants DNS access to customers, so you can add this TXT entry from the registrar where the domain was registered or in a dashboard provided by the website host. The steps to create a DMARC record differ based on the registrar or host, but creating the record is the same for every domain. After you authenticate into your host or registrar, create a DNS entry using the following steps:</li> <li>Create a TXT record. After you start the creation process, you must enter a name and value for the record.</li> <li>Name your record “DMARC”. In some host configurations, the domain name is automatically appended to the name. If it is not added automatically, name the record <strong>_dmarc.yourdomain.com</strong>.</li> <li>Enter the value for your record. The following is an example value for DMARC:<br> v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:youraddress@yourdomain.com.</li> </ol> <p>The three values in the entry are critical for direction when users send emails to your domain. The first “v” value is necessary and defines the version. This value will be the same for all records. The second “p” value determines what happens when the email passes or fails. In this example, the value is set to “none”, indicating nothing will happen. This value is recommended initially to ensure that DMARC works correctly before quarantining messages.</p> <p>After you verify that DMARC works correctly, the “p” value can be changed to “quarantine” or “reject”. It’s recommended to <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="67390456-d90c-4332-b5d9-b8e5d0c81d5d" href="/au/products/email-protection/threat-response-auto-pull" title="Threat Response Auto-Pull">quarantine</a> messages so that you can catch false positives. The message will be set aside until you review it. The “reject” option will outright drop records that don’t pass DMARC rules. Only use the “reject” option when you are positive that no important messages will be dropped by your DMARC settings.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--space paragraph--view-mode--full space"> <div class="space__wrapper"> <div class="space__item space__md"> </div> </div> </div> <span data-smooth-scroll="true" class="anchor_link" id="toc-7"></span> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-columns paragraph--view-mode--full text-cols"> <div class="block-text-cols__cols block-text-cols__cols-1"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-column paragraph--view-mode--default block-text-cols__cols__item"> <h3 class="block-text-cols__title">DMARC vs. DKIM</h3> <div class="block-text-cols__body"> <p>DMARC and DKIM (or DomainKeys Identified Mail) are email authentication protocols that help organisations fight email compromise and impersonation attacks. However, DMARC is more robust in implementing policies and utilising reporting mechanisms. While both protocols use public key cryptography, DMARC and DKIM each use different methods to validate email flow. DKIM is solely an authentication method, while DMARC generates aggregate reports to help optimise an organisation’s email strategy.</p> <p>DMARC aligns both SPF and DKIM mechanisms to provide reporting across activities performed under those two policies. This enables domain owners to publish policies in their DNS records specifying how to check the “from:” field presented to end-users and how the receiver should deal with failures.</p> <p>Simply put, DKIM’s purpose is to verify whether an email is legitimate, while DMARC goes one step further to suggest what to do with email that isn’t legitimate.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--space paragraph--view-mode--full space"> <div class="space__wrapper"> <div class="space__item space__md"> </div> </div> </div> <span data-smooth-scroll="true" class="anchor_link" id="toc-8"></span> <div class="utl-disable-bottom-margin paragraph paragraph--type--text-columns paragraph--view-mode--full text-cols"> <div class="block-text-cols__cols block-text-cols__cols-1"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-column paragraph--view-mode--default block-text-cols__cols__item"> <h3 class="block-text-cols__title">Why Use DMARC for Email?</h3> <div class="block-text-cols__body"> <p>DMARC is a fundamental component of an organisation’s email security strategy, as it allows recipients of emails using the authenticated domain to trust that messages came from the domain owner and not an impostor.
