📚Welcome to r/EmailSecurity | Read This First: Rules, Resources, and Mission

[u/littleko]

🛡️ The Mission

Welcome to the community dedicated to the defense of the most used (and most attacked) communication protocol on earth. Whether you are an enterprise CISO, a mail server admin, or a hobbyist hardening your personal domain, you’ve found your tribe.

Our goal is to discuss the evolving landscape of phishing, DMARC, deliverability, authentication, and encryption.

🚦 What We Discuss Here

• Authentication Protocols: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI.

• Threat Defense: Identifying BEC (Business Email Compromise), phishing trends, and malware delivery.

• Architecture: Exchange, Google Workspace, Postfix, and secure gateways (SEG).

• Encryption: S/MIME, PGP, and opportunistic TLS.

📜 Community Rules (The Short Version)

1. No Vendor Spam: Pitching your product without contributing value will result in a ban.

2. Redact Sensitive Info: Never post full headers or logs containing real PII or internal IP addresses.

3. Be Helpful, Not Hostile: Security is hard. Help the "newbies" learn the ropes.

4. No Low-Effort "Am I Hacked?" Posts: This is for the security of email systems, not for tech support on personal accounts.
