Email Authentication Handbook
When the Internet and email were first created, they were only accessible to a handful of people, so there was no room for impersonation. Email’s inventors didn’t know how popular and
central to business and transactions email would become, so they didn’t include any way to verify an email sender’s identity; email headers, including the “From:” and “Reply-to:” fields, are
therefore remarkably easy to fake.
ENTER EMAIL AUTHENTICATION.
By implementing email authentication, you enable only those senders that you explicitly authorize, thereby blocking everyone else who attempts to send in your name — spammers, phishers, and “shadow email” senders that may be legitimate but have not been vetted or authorized. This provides CIOs and CISOs with a significant new weapon to control shadow IT.
In this guide you’ll learn all about SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ARC, and BIMI – by the inventors of automated DMARC.

The Business Case for DMARC
Your domain name is a valuable business asset that needs to be protected. Without the protection DMARC provides, bad actors can do bad things with your email domain name with little restriction. They can send email pretending to be from the CEO to company employees, spear phishing their way to monetary gain. Or they could send millions of unwanted spam email messages using your domain name, causing deliverability distress and reputational damage, even clogging your inbox with thousands of non-delivery reports and angry replies. DMARC is the technology that helps to protect your email domain against phishing and spoofing.
DMARC is an email authentication protocol that aims to prevent the successful delivery of any significant amount of spoofed email purporting to be from your (now protected) email domain name. This is done through a combination of a published DMARC “policy,” proper authentication of your legitimate email, and cooperation from large inbox providers.
In this guide you’ll learn all about how DMARC protects businesses from email fraud, improves deliverability, strengthens brand reputation, ensures compliance, and provides significant ROI.

Is Your DMARC Really Automated?
The promise of automated email authentication - Many email protection and filtering technologies don’t actually authenticate email domains. But the idea behind Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC) standard is to use DNS as a single source of truth for email authentication configuration attributes and the domain owner’s policy.
DMARC improves upon the shortcomings of earlier protocols (SPF and DKIM) by looking for alignment between the visible “from” address that email recipients see and the invisible header
information they may not see — including the invisible reply-to header (SPF) and the DKIM signature header. By gaining this alignment and then using the domain owner’s policy — as defined in DMARC — an organization can keep phony messages attempting to hijack their domain at bay. When fully enforced, DMARC closes the gap left by email’s inherently permissive
design and ensures that an email is authentic.
In this guide you’ll learn all about the critical role of DMARC enforcement in email authentication, the challenges of manual processes, and how Valimail’s automation streamlines security and efficiency.

The Complete Guide to BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification)
People today are busier than ever, and their inboxes are cluttered with email, some messages are wanted and some are not. Recipients get frustrated searching through their inboxes looking for specific messages, such as a receipt from a recent purchase, information about an upcoming event, or a coupon code for an ongoing sale. Sometimes, recipients don’t bother
opening or ignore marketing emails because they don’t stand out amongst all
the unopened emails in their inbox.
BIMI (Brand Indicators For Message Identification) is a way for domain owners to stand out in the inbox and make their email easily identifiable for their recipients. With BIMI, a domain owner can specify a logo to display next to messages at participating mailbox providers, and so long as those messages are properly authenticated with DMARC and the messages land in the inbox, they’ll stand out from the crowd.
In this guide you'll learn about BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification), how it works with DMARC, its benefits for email branding, and how to implement it efficiently.
