Enabling DKIM For Your Domain Using the Google Admin Console
by DuoCircle
No matter what your organization’s size is and how many emails you send in a day, you can be a target of impersonation and phishing attacks. So, ensure all your domains, including the parked ones, are secured with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. In this guide, we are taking you through the 4 steps to enable DKIM using the Google Admin console.
A Step-by-Step Guide For Adding SPF, DKIM, and DMARC Records to AWS DNS-Route 53

Before you follow these steps, check if your domain’s DNS already has the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Redundancies make all your records invalid, neglecting the responsibility of these email authenticating agents. You can use online SPF, DKIM, and DMARC record lookup tools designed for email security assessment to ascertain this; all you have to do is enter your domain name and the type of record you want it to evaluate for you.
A Guide to Publishing DMARC Records for Your Domain

DMARC, or Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance, is an email authentication protocol that protects your domains from being misused by cyber attackers and improves email deliverability to ensure that your emails reach their intended recipients instead of landing in their spam folders.

Handling False Positives and Negatives in Email Filtering
by DuoCircle
False positives happen when email filtersmisjudge genuine emails and mark them as spam or malicious. On the other hand, false negatives are illegitimate and spam emails that pass through these filters without getting detected. Both are problematic for legitimate senders and recipients. Because of false positives, important emails don’t land in the recipients’ inboxes and impact communications. Whereas, due to false negatives, recipients end up getting tricked into downloading malware-infected files, sharing sensitive details, transferring money, etc.
How DMARC Manages Domains and Subdomains to Prevent Spoofing?
by DuoCircle
Businesses are now being mindful of protecting their domains with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, but what about the times when you send emails from your subdomains? As a domain owner or administrator, you create a DMARC record that instructs how email-receiving servers should evaluate incoming emails from your domain to check their legitimacy. This process flows smoothly when domains are included, but it gets a bit complicated with the involvement of subdomains.
