How Domain Blacklist Protection Works
- Email Authentication
- SPF (Sender Policy Framework): Specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email for your domain.
- DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail): Digitally signs outgoing emails to verify they haven't been altered.
- DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance): Instructs receiving mail servers how to handle messages that fail SPF or DKIM checks and provides reports on email authentication.
- Reputation Monitoring
- Regularly checks whether your domain or sending IP appears on major DNS-based blacklists (DNSBLs).
- Sends alerts if your reputation declines or your domain becomes listed.
- Threat Protection
- Scans outgoing emails for malware.
- Detects phishing attempts.
- Prevents unauthorized bulk email campaigns.
- Access Security
- Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for email accounts.
- Use strong password policies.
- Disable unused accounts promptly.
