Email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

provenance: curated

Email authentication

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are DNS-published controls that reduce direct domain spoofing in email. Investigators read TXT records and alignment results to grade spoofability.

  • SPF — which IPs may send for a domain
  • DKIM — cryptographic message signatures
  • DMARC — policy + alignment (reject/quarantine/none)

Umbra’s dns_email_auth collector deep-dives these records for a domain seed.
