| Protect your Email Accounts with CS One |
In our pro-active approach to client security, CS One Designers is pleased to announce that, using the latest technologies, even greater email security measures are now in place to help protect you.
 Your email addresses will now be protected from ‘Spoofers’ as well as including industry standard virus protection. Nothing needs to be done from the client side – all the work has been done behind the scenes with no downtime recorded. What Is Email Authentication?Email Authentication takes into account several properties of an email, to verify if the origin of that email is in fact the same as it is represented within the headers of the message. These methods prevent forged mail being sent from or to your mail servers. The great benefit of enabling these methods is to prevent mail looking like it is coming from your domain(s). When enabled, these methods should reduce the amount of bounced messages or unwanted emails received when spammers spoof one or more of your email addresses.What Is SPF? (Sender Policy Framework)Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an anti-spam method in which the internet domain of an email sender can be authenticated for that sender, thereby discouraging spam mailers, who routinely disguise the origin of their email – a practice known as email spoofing.SPF and other anti-spoofing initiatives, such as Domain Keys, work by making it easier for a mail server to determine when a message came from a domain other than the one it claims to be from. SPF will specify which machines are authorized to send email from your domain(s). This means that only mail sent through this server will appear as valid mail from your domain(s) when the SPF records are checked. What Is Domain Keys?Domain Keys provides a way for email providers to verify the email sender and the integrity of the messages sent. This allows an email system to prove a message was not altered during transit (eg. it proves the message is not a forgery) and that the message did come from the specified domain. |
