While authentication can be tricky, it’s imperative that any web application that sends an email adds this to the top of a best practice list.

Email vendors such as Google and Yahoo among others have announced that they are going to start enforcing DMARC for email security. In order for your email system to pass DMARC requirement emails must pass SPF and DKIM checks.
