The most common scam is a fake invoice or a “change of bank details” email sent to your clients in your name. We prepare the DMARC policy for you, ready to paste in, which gets Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo to reject those emails: you or whoever manages your site adds it, and your mailbox is never touched.
For businesses with email on their own domain, with any provider: Aruba, Register, Google, Microsoft and others. The monthly check is optional, at €9/month.
Nobody tells mail servers what to do with a fake email sent in your name.
Servers see that the email is fake, but still deliver it.
Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo reject them. This is where your domain ends up, with the records we prepare for you.
If we wrote to you, the email said which of the first two states your domain was in, read that day from the public DNS.
The records are ready within 2 working days of your go-ahead, and full protection is in place within 3–5 weeks: before tightening the policy we read the reports, until all your genuine emails get through.
Your email provider, your management or invoicing software, newsletters, your website’s contact form. We work it out from the public DNS and the first DMARC reports.
A correct SPF record, DKIM switched on by your provider, DMARC in monitor-only mode with the reports sent to us, and a one-page guide for your control panel: Aruba, Register, OVH, GoDaddy, Squarespace, Google or Microsoft. You or whoever manages your site adds them.
When the reports show that all your genuine emails get through, usually after 2–4 weeks, the policy moves fake emails to quarantine, then rejects them. Every step can be checked on the public DNS by anyone, even without us.
The date from which your domain rejects fake emails, who sends in your name, and what to do if you add a new piece of software.
A fixed-price job, with the final report. The monthly check is added only if you want it.
With a 4% surcharge for INPS, Italy’s social security institute (rivalsa INPS), €154.96 in total. Paid by bank transfer, on order.
Every month we read your domain’s DMARC reports: who sent in your name, what was rejected, whether a new piece of software of yours stops getting through. A one-page report (in Italian), and an email straight away if someone unrelated tries to use your domain.
One record correction a month is included, for a change of provider or a new piece of software. Monthly cancellation; paid month by month, in advance.
Prices are in euro. No VAT is charged (flat-rate regime, regime forfettario); a 4% INPS surcharge (rivalsa INPS) is added to the invoice. “Fixed price” means the job never costs more than what is written. We invoice clients in Italy; elsewhere in the European Union, only businesses with a valid VAT number in VIES, the EU’s VAT validation system.
What is asked most often about this job.
If yours isn’t listed, email it to us at progetti@is4ict.com.
No. We prepare the records and a guide; you or whoever manages your site pastes them in. If you would rather we did it, with temporary access, we decide that together case by case.
No. DMARC reports say who sent in your name and what happened, not the content of the messages.
We do not know, and we will not say so without evidence: we only tell you what the public DNS of your domain shows today.
No: the policy covers your exact domain. A domain that looks like yours (for example with one letter changed) is a different domain, with its own rules.
No. Securing your domain costs €149 one-off, with the final report; if you also want ongoing monitoring you add €9 a month, and if you don’t, you just pay the €149.
For now we work entirely in writing: you tell us what you need and we reply within one working day.
