[ By role ]
What this means for you
Choose your role for practical next steps.
IT / Mail Admin
Validate the aligned signature
The provider envelope and customer From domain need separate inspection.
Next steps
- Publish both account-issued aliases.
- Run the domain test.
- Capture receiving-system identities.
CISO / SecOps
Control shared-domain trust
Child accounts and other sending services may depend on the same DNS namespace.
Next steps
- Assign domain ownership.
- Approve enforcement separately.
- Review delegated selectors when accounts retire.
Founder / Non-technical
Protect campaign continuity
Domain authentication should be completed before a campaign changes sender identity.
Next steps
- Name the campaign owner.
- Keep the previous approved route available.
- Require evidence before the rollout.

Frequently asked questions
Which Higher Logic product is covered?
The Informz route documented as Thrive Marketing Professional; do not assume other Higher Logic products use these settings.
Why retain both DKIM aliases?
The secondary alias supports key rotation. Publish the complete account-issued pair.
Does adding an SPF include fix an unaligned envelope?
No. Authorization and domain alignment are separate checks.
Domain Authentication with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC RFC 7208 SPF
Is a platform authentication pass enough?
It completes the documented platform check, but a received campaign must still establish the actual identities and DMARC result.
Can a child account own its authentication settings?
The documented design allows child-level management or central management by the parent. Confirm the account arrangement.
Can I use the public selector examples as production values?
Use the instructions generated for your account and domain instead.
Should I weaken DMARC if one campaign fails?
Investigate the sending route and alignment first; changing domain policy can affect unrelated mail.
What evidence is still missing?
Live tenant instructions, authoritative DNS answers, received-message results and human SME approval remain pending.

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.
