This article explains how I read the headers, why authentication does not guarantee safety, and what victims should do immediately.

You’ll learn about SPF, DKIM, and DMARC—three critical DNS settings that help your website’s emails look trustworthy to all mail servers. Whether you manage your own website or rely on a hosting provider, this guide will show you what to check and how to stay out of the junk folder.

Solar flares from the current G3-class solar storm could cause significant Internet disruptions. These flares interfere with satellites responsible for data transmission, potentially slowing website loading times or causing temporary outages. Satellite-based email and messaging services may also face delays as the storm’s impact interrupts communication signals, leading to intermittent access for users. While the storm is unlikely to cause widespread, long-term damage, localized disruptions are possible. Be prepared for slower service and intermittent connectivity throughout the weekend.
Understanding email delays and attachment issues can reduce frustration. At CharlesWorks, we separate email and web servers to enhance reliability. Learn why delays occur and how to mitigate them, including tips for handling large attachments and improving connectivity.
