Comment on Tell HN: Make sure to configure DKIM/SPF with Fastmailparent

Comments

Amusing :) Although I have to admit that I am even less sure after using that site. There doesn't seem to be an indication that DKIM "FAIL" in red is a good or bad thing after it attempted to spoof a domain I own. I assume it's good?

A spoofed message should FAIL DMARC. It could PASS DKIM and if the signature came from a domain that is owned by the attacker. But DMARC will fail when the DKIM domain and the HEADER.FROM domain do not align.

Please read my blog here: https://www.uriports.com/blog/introduction-to-spf-dkim-and-d...

It will explain how SPF, DKIM, and DMARC work together to prevent spam.

Not sure, I can't say I'm super familiar with this. Which I guess is part of the reason I'm having it configured through Fastmail.

This is the original submission where the link came from if it helps:
