Email is so 2005, and yet traffic volumes are still growing 4% per year. It’s still an important vector for communications but with flaws due to its design heritage.


Compliance BCC Email for help with troubleshooting

The title may sound officious, but Compliance BCC is really handy for troubleshooting.


Authenticate your email: SPF

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) shows that another server (e.g. salesforce.com) has permission to send on behalf of a whole domain (e.g. salesforceben.com) and is much stronger than a verified email address (which only proves that you had access to a single email address for a moment in time).


Tamper-proof: DKIM

After SPF, along came another progression. DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) shows that no one altered your email on route from the sender’s email server, to the recipient’s email server.


DMARC

SPF shows that the sender is valid, DKIM shows that the email hasn’t been interfered with, but what about the rest of the emails that appear to be coming from your domain? Is it a forgery (just like anyone can print a letterhead) or should the email still be considered valid? Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) completes the set and tells the recipient email server what to do..


Testing and Further Reading

You may want to use the DMARC.org’s resources to test your SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup. DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to percolate, so do remember to be patient!
