Overview
The Email Administration interface allows you to manage all aspects of email service for your domain from a single, centralized location within your Webnames account. From here, you can create and maintain individual mail accounts, configure aliases and distribution groups, control message routing rules, and manage important email authentication settings such as SPF
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email authentication method which ensures the sending mail server is authorized to originate mail from the email sender's domain., DKIM
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an email authentication method designed to detect forged sender addresses in email (email spoofing), a technique often used in phishing and email spam.
DKIM allows the receiver to check that an email that claimed to have come from a specific domain was indeed authorized by the owner of that domain. It achieves this by affixing a digital signature, linked to a domain name, to each outgoing email message. The recipient system can verify this by looking up the sender's public key published in the DNS. A valid signature also guarantees that some parts of the email (possibly including attachments) have not been modified since the signature was affixed., and DMARC
DMARC: Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance, is an email authentication, policy, and reporting protocol. https://dmarc.org/. Access to email management can also be delegated using dedicated user roles, enabling secure collaboration while maintaining appropriate control at the domain level. This section provides guidance on each area of the interface and explains how to perform common email administration tasks.
