When it comes to securing email communications, understanding the role of DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance), and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is crucial. This article explains whether you can set up these protocols for free email accounts and provides guidance for those using custom domain emails.

Users of these services cannot set up these protocols individually, as the service providers manage them.
