Configuring additional DMARC authentication settings for a rule

ID 144366

You can configure additional settings of DMARC Mail Sender Authentication for one or several rules.

Before configuring additional settings of DMARC message authentication for a rule, make sure that DMARC message authentication is enabled in the settings of Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server.

To configure additional settings of DMARC authentication for a rule:

  1. In the main window of the program web interface, open the management console tree and select the Rules section.
  2. In the list of rules, click the link with the name of the rule to open the rule for which you want to configure additional settings of DMARC authentication.
  3. Select the Mail Sender Authentication section.
  4. Flip on the toggle switch next to the name of the Mail Sender Authentication settings group if it is off.
  5. In the DMARC Mail Sender Authentication section, do one of the following:
    • Select the check box next to the name of the Consider DMARC authentication result as primary setting if you want Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server to determine authentication violations based on the results of DMARC authentication.
    • Clear the check box next to the name of the Consider DMARC authentication result as primary setting if you do not want Kaspersky Security 8 for Linux Mail Server to determine authentication violations based on the results of DMARC authentication.

    If the check box is selected, an authentication violation is determined based on the results of DMARC authentication. If the check box is cleared, the results of SPF, DKIM and DMARC authentication are considered to be equivalent. A violation under any of these authentication methods is considered to be a Mail Sender Authentication violation. If violations are found for several authentication methods simultaneously, the most strict of the defined actions to take on the message is applied during SPF, DKIM or DMARC Mail Sender Authentication violations.

  6. Click the Apply button in the lower part of the workspace.
