Thanks for the long answer!

I haven’t heard of most of your abbreviations/term till now so I guess this will be one of the bigger journeys through the world of IT :)

I do have to say for the purpose of tinkering I love these bigger projects because you learn so much on the way. Now having read your answer I am even more exited to try it out :D

Oh, my apologies. Here is a definition list :

SMTP : Simple Mail Transfer Protocol : the base of any mail system, it’s the server you contact to send emails, which relay your mail to an other SMTP server, which store the mail for user to retrieve

IMAP : Internet Message Access Protocol : one of the protocols that can be used to retrieve emails from your mailserver (the other one being POP3)

SPF : Sender Policy Framework, a configuration on your domain name specifying which machines are allowed to send mails in its name

DKIM : DomainKeys Identified Mail : a signing process (signing each mail) to validate the “From” email address is indeed coming from the domain it pretends to

DMARC : a warning system to let you know when someone pretended to be you
