I have implemented SPF do I still need DMARC?
While SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a valuable email authentication mechanism, it has some limitations on its own.
DMARC builds upon SPF by providing additional layers of protection against email spoofing and allows domain owners to specify a policy for how email receivers should handle messages that fail authentication.
By implementing DMARC, domain owners can:
- Specify a policy that tells email receivers what to do when a message fails SPF or DKIM evaluation.
- Request feedback from email receivers about messages that pass and fail DMARC evaluation.
- Set a higher level of protection for the domain by specifying a “reject” policy, which tells email receivers to reject messages that fail DMARC evaluation.
So, even though you have implemented SPF, DMARC can provide additional security benefits and a better visibility over the email usage of your domain. It’s also important to note that DMARC is an industry standard, and many organizations and receiving mail servers expect it to be implemented in addition to SPF.
