Description
InboxAuth scans your domain’s SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, then walks you through
a guided setup to close the gaps:
- DNS Scan — checks your current SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.
- Connect Mailbox — validates an IMAP connection to a
reports@yourdomain.com
mailbox that will receive DMARC aggregate reports. - Set DMARC — walks you through publishing a starter DMARC record
(p=none,rua=mailto:reports@yourdomain.com) so reports start flowing in. - Observer Mode — runs a 48-hour window, then automatically parses every DMARC
aggregate report received via IMAP to build a list of everyone sending mail as
your domain. - Generate Records — once you’ve confirmed which senders are legitimate, generates
a tailored SPF record plus a DMARC record with your choice ofquarantineor
reject enforcement, and validates both live via DNS.
The Dashboard gives an at-a-glance view of SPF/DKIM/DMARC status, an overall Email
Security Score, a one-click re-scan, and a link to test whether your domain can
currently be spoofed via the companion Email Authenticity Checker tool.
