DMARC policy

This is to inform Nekede that Google has hereby move Gmail to a strict DMARC policy starting in June 2016.

REASONS:

1.The reason was to stop  the cybercriminals who hack into user accounts and then scrape the address books; 

2.They can also use a different server to spoof messages from the hacked user to his or her own contacts.

3. Google also do this for the spam and fraud purposes, for phishing and to spread malware to other users.

 

HOW IT WORK:

A DMARC policy combats this by letting a users to indicate that its emails are protected, and inform a receiver what to do if neither of those authentication methods passes such as junk or reject the message.
