Here at Valimail, we’re all about email trust. 

Because companies rely on email for everything from account activations, receipts, and payroll to engaging with customers, it’s important that your customers and employees have trust in your email communications. Especially since email is also your biggest threat vector.

Our purpose is to help companies achieve brand protection as quickly as possible so you can maintain trust with your customers and employees. 

We offer two solutions, Valimail Monitor and Valimail Enforce, which provide value fast while you start on the race to email authentication via DMARC, ultimately crossing the finish line with brand protection.

In this first edition of our blog series focused on getting you to brand protection as quickly as possible, we’ll start the race at the first leg: Visibility.

Race stage one: Knowing who is sending email on your behalf

Valimail Monitor digests DMARC aggregate reports and turns raw IP addresses into an easily readable list of named services using your domain to send email. You’ll no longer need to comb through piles of confusing XML reports — we automate the analysis of DMARC data, taking the guesswork out of identifying services and presenting IP addresses as recognizable platform names.

Speed Boost: Valimail has the largest catalog of third-party sending services, which means we identify more services than anyone else.

With Monitor, users can access a user-friendly dashboard with a global view of who is sending email on their behalf—known sending platforms, forgotten or missed platforms that need updating, unknown senders, and potential threats. This visualization helps you quickly identify gaps in your email authentication configuration, understand email authentication trends, and identify malicious senders.

Monitor has no limit on the number of domains or the amount of email you send, so if you manage multiple domains, add them all! This way, you’ll get a comprehensive view of your entire email ecosystem.

In summary, Monitor can help you quickly identify all senders, point out any bad actors, and take the first step toward enforcement. You’ll save time, and guess what? It’s completely free to use.

Depending on the complexity of your email ecosystem, you may want the automation and the additional visibility provided by Enforce. However, both solutions provide the value of knowing all of the sending services sending email on your behalf.

In the next leg of the race, we’ll tackle how to manage your DMARC policy and senders through SPF and DKIM configuration.
