Abstract

Sender Authentication contributes to the goal of detecting and blocking maliciously impersonated email identifiers. Sender Policy Framework (SPF) (RFC 7208) validates the RFC5321.MailFrom address, and Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) (RFC 7489) validates the RFC5322.From header address. Both techniques may produce a result other than PASS on a message that the recipient considers acceptable and wanted. This document describes best practices for integrating SPF and DMARC into an email filtering strategy.
