If DKIM is working well, you can set up an ADSP record, telling the receiving mailserver that all mails coming from your domain should have a valid DKIM signature. Add a DNS TXT record containing this: _adsp._domainkey 3600 IN TXT "dkim=all" ---- \\ ==== Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance ==== > [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMARC|Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance]] (DMARC) is an email-validation system designed to detect and prevent email spoofing. It is intended to combat certain techniques often used in phishing and email spam, such as emails with forged sender addresses that appear to originate from legitimate organizations. If SPF and DKIM are working well, you can set up a DMARC record. Add a DNS TXT record containing this: _dmarc 3600 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=reject" \\ If you want to receive aggregate reports, you can set a ''rua'' option: _dmarc 3600 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:postmaster@quietlife.nl" If you also want to receive failure reports, you can set a ''ruf'' option: _dmarc 3600 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:postmaster@quietlife.nl; ruf=mailto:postmaster@quietlife.nl" \\ More information about DMARC records can be found [[https://dmarc.org/wiki/FAQ|here]]. ----
