Explainer: how SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop domain spoofing

A new explainer sets out how email authentication works together: SPF lists which servers may send mail for a domain, DKIM cryptographically signs each message, and DMARC tells receiving servers what to do when checks fail. The author argues all three are needed so attackers cannot spoof a domain, a concern growing as spoofed email fuels phishing.

Why now: Rising phishing and domain-spoofing attacks keep pushing organisations to configure email authentication correctly.
