DNS

Prevent email scammers from impersonating you

A tip from @Jerry@hear-me.social.

If you own a domain and do not use it for email, you should set these two DNS records to ensure no one spoofs it.

TypeNameValue
TXT@v=spf1 -all
TXT_dmarcv=DMARC1; p=reject;

The first says there is not a single SMTP server on earth authorized to send email on behalf of your domain.

The second says that any email that says otherwise should be trashed.
