DOMAIN KEYS IDENTIFIED MAIL (DKIM)
You can use DKIM to verify that an incoming e-mail message is actually from the stated sender and that the message has not been altered during transit. When DKIM is enabled, the sender digitally signs a message using a private key. The recipient uses DNS to retrieve the sender's public key and verify the message's signature. If the signature is invalid, then the message is assumed to be forged and therefore spam.SENDER POLICY FRAMEWORK (SPF)
SPF helps prevent spammers from forging messages that implicate your domain as the sender. As a result, SPF can also reduce the number of bounce messages that you receive (also known as backscatter spam). SPF uses DNS records that specify the mail servers and IP addresses that are authorized to send e-mail messages from a domain.Enabling SPF
