MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC: the e-mail records

Four DNS records make a domain's e-mail work. MX says where e-mails sent to theguardian.com arrive; SPF, DKIM and DMARC let mail servers check that an e-mail claiming to come from theguardian.com was really sent by this domain, which protects it against spoofing.

theguardian.com  MX  10 mx1.theguardian.com.
theguardian.com  MX  20 mx2.theguardian.com.

theguardian.com  TXT  "v=spf1 mx include:_spf.google.com ip4:192.0.2.10 -all"

google._domainkey.theguardian.com  TXT  "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA…"
