Along with this, it helps in increasing email deliverability and boosting email engagement rates. It provides you with full insight into your organization’s email channel. And provides domain owners with full reports about the email messages that they send across the internet.
KDMARC has an easy-to-use dashboard that allows you to keep track of your domain’s everyday activity and identify the sources that are trying to forge your organization’s domain name. To set up the dashboard and secure your domain, you just need to follow the steps given:
Step 1: Go to the KDMARC Dashboard and click on ‘Add Domain’.
Step 2: Enter your domain name in the required field and select whether or not you want to enable Smart SPF for this domain. Click on ‘Next’ once done.
Step 3: Replace your domain’s existing DMARC record on the DNS with the CNAME provided by KDMARC. Similarly, replace all your domain’s previously configured records on the DNS with the Smart SPF record given on the dashboard. Once done, click on ‘Verify’.
Once KDMARC verifies that the given CNAME and SPF record is successfully added to the DNS, your dashboard will start showing your domain summary within the next 24 hours. Click here to know more about how to read the KDMARC Dashboard. Follow the steps given below once the reports begin to generate:
