TouchBasePro has partnered with Sendmarc to give our clients enterprise-grade email domain protection.
What is Sendmarc?
Sendmarc implements DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) on your domain. DMARC authenticates your email domain and stops phishing and spoofing attacks that originate from your own domains, protecting your staff, customers, and suppliers.
What are the benefits of implementing Sendmarc?
- Visibility: See every server, legitimate or not, that is sending email from your domain.
- Security: Block attackers from sending impersonation or spoofing emails using your domain.
- Compliance: Restrict staff to group-approved email servers, which keeps your email records clean and auditable.
- Deliverability: Improve inbox placement and keep your messages out of the spam folder.
How does implementation work?
We provide you with a CNAME record that you, or someone in your IT team, adds to your DNS. The system then runs for the first month to generate a report showing where your vulnerabilities lie. Once you have seen the report, we recommend the Sendmarc package that best fits your needs.
If you want to know more about Sendmarc or are ready to start the implementation process, get in touch with us and we will take it from there.
Frequently asked questions
- What is DMARC and why does my domain need it?
- DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is an email authentication protocol. It tells receiving mail servers how to handle messages that fail authentication checks, which stops attackers from sending phishing or spoofing emails that appear to come from your domain.
- How long does Sendmarc implementation take?
- You start by adding a CNAME record to your DNS, which your IT team can usually do quickly. The system then runs for one month to collect data, after which Sendmarc and TouchBasePro review the report with you and recommend the right package.
- Will Sendmarc improve my email deliverability?
- Yes. Proper DMARC implementation signals to receiving mail servers that your domain is authenticated and managed, which improves inbox placement and reduces the chance of your legitimate emails landing in spam.
- Who handles the Sendmarc setup, us or TouchBasePro?
- TouchBasePro provides the CNAME record you need. You or your IT team add it to your DNS. From there, TouchBasePro and Sendmarc manage the monitoring, reporting, and package recommendation.
