Why Email Security Matters for Schools
Without proper email authentication, attackers can send emails that appear to come from your school — targeting parents with fake fee payment requests, phishing teachers for credentials, or impersonating administrators.
- SPF — Specifies which servers can send email for your domain
- DKIM — Digitally signs your emails to prove authenticity
- DMARC — Tells receivers what to do with failed authentication
- MX — Mail exchange records for receiving email
