Most people don't know what these things (Dmarc, DKIM, SPF) are but they have a major role in your domain security and email deliverability.
It tells the internet: Only these servers are allowed to send email for my company.
If someone not on the list tries to send email as you it blocks fake emails pretending to be you. What also helps is when this is properly setup email providers trust you more.
Think of this like a tamper-proof seal on a letter.
When you send an email, it gets a hidden signature, the receiving server checks that signature to make sure the email really came from you and wasn’t changed along the way.
This stops people from changing your email and from a deliverability standpoint proves your email is legit
Think of this like a rule book + report card.
It tells email providers what to do if SPF or DKIM fail: do nothing, send to spam, block it completely. It also sends you reports so you can see who is sending email as you
From a security standpoint it gives you control to block fake emails.
From a deliverability standpoint it gives you a large improvement in emails being delivered to the right places (Google and Microsoft expect this now)
SPF = Who is allowed to send
DKIM = Is the message real and unchanged
DMARC = What to do if something is wrong
