Email-based scams are everywhere, and with “domain spoofing” a talented hacker can make it look like the scam is coming from inside the building. To stop these bad guys, a protocol has been rolled out called DMARC, which stands for “Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance.”
Basically, this is a double-check handled by email servers to make sure that addresses and locations match up like they should. It’s the new standard in email compliance. While DMARC was first implemented in 2012, it is now required by all United States government agencies and contractors, and is now actively enforced by the big third-party email providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft.
If you don’t have DMARC properly configured, your email will bounce and you will not be able to reach customers and clients using these services.
What does this mean for you?
If your company is using email along with your domain, as most companies are, you should have DMARC compliance in place. This assures that your customers and staff receive the emails that they should, and also that anything malicious is blocked.
