Achieving email authenticity is part of an ongoing effort to protect users from phishing and improve the reputation of email sent from App State.

Campus email administrators have deployed email message authentication to provide campus units stronger control on preventing illegitimate use of @appstate email addresses. 

Benefits

  • Reputation: Protects the App State brand by preventing unauthenticated parties from sending email from our domain.

  • Visibility: Reports increase visibility into our email program by letting us know who is sending email from the App State domain.

  • Security: Establishes a consistent policy for dealing with messages that fail authentication and helps keep the campus email ecosystem more secure and trustworthy.

External Senders/Requests

We will continue to analyze reports of who is sending email on our behalf to correct any legitimate external email senders.
