nixCraft Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 As you may know, email spoofing allows attackers to pose as someone else to gain illegal profit. For example, I only use webmaster@cyberciti.biz for communication, but someone might create a spoofed-up email, say info@opensourceflare.com, to trick someone. This is called email spoofing with fake headers as follow: Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2021 12:46:10 From: nixCraft <info@opensourceflare.com> Reply-To: info@opensourceflare-email.com To: <my@personal_gmail_com> Correct headers are often not checked by receiving email servers, and my@personal_gmail_com may think the email is from me. Here is the thing I don't use opensourceflare.com for email communication at all. So how do I prevent illegitimate email traffic on my domain? In this tutorial, I will explain how to configure DNS settings that tell receiving email servers this domain is not configured for emailing purposes and the attacker maliciously sending email on my behalf.
