SPF, DKIM, DMARC

Three DNS-based standards that authenticate who is allowed to send email on behalf of your domain.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) lists approved sending IPs. DKIM signs outbound email cryptographically. DMARC tells receivers what to do when SPF or DKIM fails and reports on abuse.

Any AI SDR sending on your behalf must be added to SPF and DKIM. Google and Yahoo now require DMARC alignment for bulk senders.
