Getting started with EasyDMARC: all you need to know

Recently we have added a new product to our offer at Openprovider: EasyDMARC. This product is our newest solution to help you increase domain security by protecting your email servers and preventing hackers from sending phishing emails from your domain. EasyDMARC offers a wealth of resources for you to learn about DMARC and email security and help you get started. In this article, we share some of them, so you can make the most out of it.

Quick recap: what does EasyDMARC do?

Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) is an email authentication standard for outbound email. It helps companies and organizations to separate “good” emails from “bad” ones, keeping the good ones safe while protecting a domain from sending unauthorized emails. In essence, DMARC checks whether the sender of an email that claims to be from your domain actually has your permission to send this email. DMARC is deployed in the form of a DMARC domain record in the DNS. As a globally recognized standard, it is used by large enterprise companies such as Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google.

EasyDMARC makes deploying DMARC easy by providing you with an intuitive, easy-to-use control panel. You can use this control panel to easily update your DMARC settings, without having to manually edit anything in the DNS yourself. Moreover, EasyDMARC will provide you with valuable data about your outgoing email flows. This data includes information about which servers your emails come from, whether they are successfully received by your contacts, and whether anyone is sending unauthorized emails in your name.

Using EasyDMARC therefore helps you protect your organization from phishing attempts and data leaks, as well as from the loss of customers and financial resources that inevitably come along with them. By using this product, you also heighten your domain’s reputation, which will increase email deliverability and customer loyalty. Moreover, EasyDMARC is easy to set up and use for your whole team.
