SPF
Authorization of sending hosts for the SMTP envelope identity; a pass alone does not prove visible From alignment.
DKIM
A signature verified using a public key under the signing domain and selector.
DMARC
Evaluation of the visible From domain against aligned SPF or DKIM authentication and the domain policy.
Authoritative DNS
The name servers responsible for publishing the zone’s records.
Return-Path
A delivered-message trace of the SMTP envelope reverse path, distinct from the visible From address.

Enterprise provenance

Why top financial institutions and governments retired their email security dashboards.

Traditional email authentication platforms sell you a dashboard and ask your engineers to do the labour. In high-stakes environments, manual oversight means delayed enforcement, configuration drift and unmonitored shadow domains.

EmailAuth is the agentic email provenance platform. Our agents enforce p=reject, keep third-party senders aligned and move your domains to full RFC 9989 compliance, the new DMARC standard,, with human-in-the-loop auditability.
