Do not configure SPF rejection to go into effect early in handling, but take full advantage of the enhancements DMARC is offering. A message might still pass based on DKIM. * At the same time, be aware that some operaters still allow a hard fail (-all) to go into effect early in handling and skip DMARC operations. diff --git a/parked-domain-how-to.md b/parked-domain-how-to.md index 9d2deaf..53c7d06 100644 --- a/parked-domain-how-to.md +++ b/parked-domain-how-to.md @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +- [Introduction](#introduction) +- [What is a parked domain?](#what-is-a-parked-domain-) + * [Domain without e-mail](#domain-without-e-mail) + + [Null MX](#null-mx) + + [DMARC](#dmarc) + + [DKIM](#dkim) + + [SPF](#spf) + * [Domain without a website](#domain-without-a-website) + +Table of contents generated with markdown-toc + # Introduction This how-to is created by the Dutch Internet Standards Platform (the organization behind [internet.nl](https://internet.nl)) and is meant to provide practical information and guidance on explicitly configuring a parked domain not to use e-mail. @@ -18,10 +29,12 @@ Set DMARC policy to reject mails, but allow reporting to take place.
