## Beschreibung

Email Auth allows you to enable email authentication/validation for your WordPress
site. Configure the DKIM selector, SPF, DMARC, bounce address, from address, and
reply-to address of emails sent by WordPress through the default PHPMailer.

Configuring these email settings allows you to prevent attackers from spoofing emails
from your domain and helps keep your emails out of the spam folder.

#### DKIM Selector

Create, upload, download, and delete private and public keys for use with DKIM with
an intuitive interface. Configure emails to use a DKIM selector and configure which
domain should be used with DKIM.

#### SPF

Create a new SPF record for your envelope domain, validate an existing record, or
view recommendations for how to improve your SPF configuration.

#### DMARC

Validate your DMARC DNS record settings and view comments about your current configuration.

#### Bounce Address

Set your bounce address to ensure emails are being sent from the right domain to
avoid having your emails rejected or marked as spam.

#### From Address and Reply-To Address

Set the address and name emails are sent from along with the address replies should
be sent to.

### Externe Dienste

This plugin connects to an online list from [publicsuffix.org](https://publicsuffix.org/)
to determine which organizational domain should be searched when obtaining DMARC
DNS records. For example, if the domain wordpress.brandonfowler.me does not have
a DMARC record, then brandonfowler.me will be checked for a DMARC record. No user
information is sent when requesting the list and its usage is subject to the [Mozilla Public License Version 2.0](https://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/).

Needs a little prior knowledge about what you are trying to achieve. That said, 
it's a brilliant plug-in and not only does it DKIM sign, it's creates and signs 
using a 2048 bit key pair. The interface is quietly elegant and has a beautiful 
simplicity to it. Thank you so much. I've just installed on WordPress 6.9 and it's
working a treat.

I've been struggling for weeks trying to get my sites formmail to send and be received
in the inbox and not go straight to spam. I've tried multiple plugins all promising
to fix this problem but it was this plugin which did the job. Not only does it show
you the state of each test (DKIM/SPF) but it shows you the server responses and 
allows the creation of new DKIM keys and the actual TXT details to be added to DNS.
It did take a few hours of playing but then it just worked and emails being sent
from my website are now arriving in the correct email inbox with the correct headers.

Great plugin that allows signing emails sent by your website (e.g. contact forms)
and also assists in the configuration of SPF/DKIM/DMARC (even though much simplified
with the plugin, the overall topic is not dead simple and will require you delving
a bit into it) to make sure they are delivered to major email providers (otherwise
emails may simply never reach the recipient, not even in the spam folder).Backend
operations are performed locally on your Wordpress instance, which is great privacy-
wise.

### 󠀁[the KISS way of WP email authentication](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-kiss-way-of-wp-email-authentication/)󠁿

Finally a really simple way to use DKIM on my site's emails. Took me a moment to
understand that I had to create my own DKIM selector in the plugin and add it to
my DNS records (where I already had a "default" DKIM configured for every mail going
through my SMTP server); once that was done the rest worked automagically. Sure,
the other option would have been to export my private "default" DKIM key and import
it into the plugin. My only remaining gripe is that this plugin somehow does not
yet play well with ContactForm 7.
