InboxAuth – Email Authenticity

Description

InboxAuth scans your domain’s SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, then walks you through
a guided setup to close the gaps:

  1. DNS Scan — checks your current SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.
  2. Connect Mailbox — validates an IMAP connection to a reports@yourdomain.com
    mailbox that will receive DMARC aggregate reports.
  3. Set DMARC — walks you through publishing a starter DMARC record
    (p=none, rua=mailto:reports@yourdomain.com) so reports start flowing in.
  4. Observer Mode — runs a 48-hour window, then automatically parses every DMARC
    aggregate report received via IMAP to build a list of everyone sending mail as
    your domain.
  5. Generate Records — once you’ve confirmed which senders are legitimate, generates
    a tailored SPF record plus a DMARC record with your choice of quarantine or
    reject enforcement, and validates both live via DNS.

The Dashboard gives an at-a-glance view of SPF/DKIM/DMARC status, an overall Email
Security Score, a one-click re-scan, and a link to test whether your domain can
currently be spoofed via the companion Email Authenticity Checker tool.

Requirements

  • PHP’s imap extension enabled (for Step 2 / Step 4 mailbox access)
  • PHP’s zip extension enabled (Step 4 unpacks .zip-attached DMARC reports)
  • Outbound DNS resolution available to the server (standard on virtually all hosts)

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin zip file via PLUGINS > ADD NEW in your wp-admin.
  2. Activate the plugin.
  3. Go to Email Authenticity Checker Dashboard to begin, located on sidebar menu item within wp-admin.

FAQ

What if I don’t have IMAP access to a reports@ mailbox?

Step 2 requires a real mailbox at reports@yourdomain.com since DMARC aggregate
reports are delivered as email attachments. Most hosting control panels let you
create one in a couple of clicks.
