Protect your brand identity, stop email spoofing and fake invoice scams

Email domain authentication tells receiving mail servers how to treat email that claims to come from your exact company address but was not sent by you. Setting up SPF, DKIM and DMARC records protects your business reputation and helps your real invoices reach client inboxes.

When a domain lacks DMARC enforcement, anyone on the internet can send email claiming to come from your address. Cybercriminals routinely abuse this to send fake invoices and payment redirection requests to your clients. Mailbox providers such as Gmail and Outlook also check these records, so a domain without them is more likely to see real messages go to spam.

We audit every service sending mail on your behalf (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, SendGrid, Amazon SES, Xero, Mailchimp), configure aligned SPF and DKIM records, and deploy a DMARC policy. We start in monitoring mode (p=none) to ensure no legitimate traffic is blocked, and systematically step up to quarantine (p=quarantine) or reject (p=reject). Before we change anything, the domain owner gives written permission and access to wherever the DNS is hosted. NullGlitch is a sole trader and not GST-registered, so no GST is added.

What We Handle

What’s included in Email Domain Protection

Built around commercial clarity, faster delivery, and clean execution.

Comprehensive sender discovery

We identify every third-party service legitimately sending emails using your domain, including Xero, Mailchimp, CRM, and website forms.

Audit of all mail routes
Google Workspace & 365
Transactional relays
Prevents accidental blocking

SPF alignment and lookup optimisation

We construct a compliant Sender Policy Framework record that lists authorised senders while keeping DNS lookups within strict limits.

Syntax validation
Lookup count control
Hard fail or soft fail
Fixes SPF errors

DKIM cryptographic key configuration

We generate and publish DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) public keys so receiving mail servers can verify cryptographic message integrity.

Tamper-evident signatures
Custom selector setup
Dual-key support
Improves inbox delivery

DMARC enforcement policy deployment

We configure your DMARC record to instruct receiving mail providers to quarantine or reject unauthenticated messages pretending to be you.

Policy enforcement
Blocks exact-domain spoofing
Quarantine and reject modes
Protects customer trust

DMARC aggregate report monitoring

We route DMARC XML reports to aggregate analysis tools to inspect sending sources and catch unauthorised spoofing attempts.

Spoofing visibility
Authentication pass rates
Misconfiguration detection
Optional monthly reports

Form and transactional relay alignment

We verify that your website contact forms and transactional mailers use authenticated sender addresses matching your domain policies.

Website form reliability
No silent drops
Brevo & SendGrid alignment
Consistent inbox delivery
Delivery

How the project runs

Clear phases, no mystery, and no padded process theatre.

01

Sender Audit

With the domain owner's written permission, we list every service sending mail as you.

02

DNS Alignment

We configure aligned SPF records and DKIM cryptographic signatures.

03

DMARC Monitoring

Deploy DMARC in monitoring mode to verify all legitimate mail flows pass.

04

Enforcement

Step up policy to quarantine or reject, blocking unauthorised impersonation.

Email Domain Protection Pricing

Transparent options for email domain protection work, scoped around delivery rather than fluff.

FAQ

Questions before you commit

Straight answers on timing, scope, support, and what happens after launch.

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is a security standard that tells receiving mail servers how to handle emails sent from your domain that fail SPF or DKIM checks. Without DMARC, anyone can forge your domain in the "From" line to send fake invoices or scams to your clients.
