### DMARC Implementation and Google Email Security Changes

- **Episode:** [1249: KBALL One](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1249-kball-one.md)
- **Published:** 2020-06-11
- **Time:** 5:50–9:48
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1249-kball-one/chapter/dmarc-implementation-and-google-email-security-changes.md

The implementation of DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records has changed how email verification works, specifically impacting the ability to send mail from third-party aliases through Gmail. While these protocols combat spoofing, they also force users to maintain active accounts on the originating servers to ensure delivery. Recent certificate authority expirations on May 30th have further complicated global email and web traffic.
