How to Stop Email Spoofing Cpanel

The best way to stop email spoofing from your cpanel email is to set up proper DMARC and DKIM implementations for your email domain. These implementations will help stop scammers in their tracks, while also ensuring that any future spoofing attempts are rejected.

DMARC stands for “Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance” and helps email users to determine when the emails they receive are legitimate and when they are spam. Proper DMARC implementation will help to identify spoofed emails and either reject them from being received at all or will send them to your email spam folder. DMARC is easy to set up, but hard to set up correctly. If set up incorrectly, you run the risk of stopping legitimate emails from being sent out.

DKIM means “DomainKeys Identified Mail.” DKIM helps to ensure that any emails sent from your domain are not altered before they arrive in their intended inboxes. This security helps make it harder to spoof emails.

Together, DMARC and DKIM create layers of email security so that domains can stay safe when sending and receiving emails.
