Securing e-mails
To secure e-mails from my domain and increase deliverability I made sure I had:
an SPF setup : to prevent E-mail spoofing
A DKIM : to authenticate e-mails sent from my domain
A DMARC policy: to validate emails sent from my domain and let the domain that receives them know what to do with emails that do not pass authentication.
I chose to adopt the "reject" policy and created an email box dedicated to receiving DMARC RUA reports. I also specify the interval of the DMARC reports with the "ri" entry (259200 Seconds (72 Hours)). I specified a strict policy on SPF and DKIM authentication to ensure maximum security. My "fo" entry requests a type "1" report which will generate a report if one of the mechanisms (SPF or DKIM) generates any other result than "pass"
My DMARC record:
v=DMARC1;p=reject;pct=100;rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@rebeccaross.tech;ri=259200;aspf=s;adkim=s;fo=1;
