Short articles about the things Sojka flags. Each one says what the finding means, what it costs you if you leave it, and exactly what to change — including the parts that are not a DNS record.

Nothing here needs an account. If a colleague looks after your DNS, send them the link.

Alignment

• What DMARC alignment means — Passing SPF or DKIM is not the same as passing DMARC. What alignment adds, and why it decides whether your mail survives.
• Your mail is not DKIM-aligned — Mail that passes DMARC on SPF alone fails the moment it is forwarded. How to sign with your own domain, per platform.
• Your mail is not SPF-aligned — What SPF alignment is, when it is worth fixing, and why DKIM is usually the better place to spend the effort.
• Mail using your domain that is not yours — A sender that never authenticated as you cannot be aligned - there is no key it could use. What stops it is the policy, and here is why.
