Can dylan-kerr.net be spoofed?

dylan-kerr.net publishes DMARC with p=none — spoofed mail is monitored but not blocked.

WarningSPF

Start here

SPF ends in '~all' (softfail) rather than '-all' — acceptable for DMARC (non-pass either way); hardening to '-all' is optional and only safe once every legitimate sender is in the record

AI explanation

Your SPF check is using a softer “maybe not allowed” setting for mail that isn’t listed, instead of a stricter “block it” setting. This matters because it can make spoofed or misconfigured emails a little less clearly rejected by other mail servers. The fix is to switch to the stricter setting only after you’re sure every legitimate sender is already included in your SPF setup.

Current SPF

v=spf1 include:_spf.google.

WarningDMARCDMARC is published but p=none (monitoring only, no protection)
Start monitoring dylan-kerr.net →
no enforcement record is recommended yet — a scan alone could not confirm that your mail aligns (valid SPF and a DKIM signature), and moving off p=none without that evidence risks silently blocking legitimate mail. Gather aggregate-report evidence first, then step up: evidence before enforcement
p=none only monitors — it does not block spoofing
no np= tag: non-existent subdomains fall back to sp/p — RFC 9989 §4.7's np=reject can protect them now
AI explanation
DMARC is set up, but it is only in monitoring mode, so it is not actively blocking spoofed or fake emails from your domain. This matters because attackers can still try to send mail that looks like it came from you, which can hurt trust and deliverability. The fix is to change DMARC from monitoring-only to an enforcement policy so mail that fails checks is handled instead of just reported.
