DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a method of associating the identity of a domain with a sent message and validating the identity of a domain associated with a received message through cryptographic authentication.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a method of preventing the spoofing of an email address. SPF allows the email server to verify messages received from a domain that has been authorized to send messages by the administrator of that domain

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is a technology intended to extend the capabilities of SPF and DKIM. DMARC defines how the recipient mail server handles an email based on the results of SPF and DKIM checks.
