Understanding Valimail

Valimail is an email authentication company. It stops attackers from sending phishing and spoofed email that appears to come from an organisation’s own domains, by getting those domains to full DMARC enforcement and keeping them there.

It is built for organisations that send mail through many third-party services, from marketing platforms to ticketing tools, and that cannot reach enforcement without breaking legitimate email.

What Valimail Does

DMARC protects a domain only when it is set to enforcement, and getting there is hard because large organisations send email through many third-party services that each need to be authorised correctly. Valimail runs that work as a service: it identifies every sender, authorises the legitimate ones and keeps the records current as senders change, so the domain reaches enforcement and stays there. Once a domain is protected, the same verified identity can be shown to recipients through the brand’s mark in the inbox.

Products

Monitor

Monitor is the starting point for organisations that do not yet know which services send email as their domains. It identifies sending services by name, shows where mail passes and fails DMARC, and finds unauthorised ISPs, open routers and suspicious IP addresses sending as the domain. It also checks readiness for inbox provider sender requirements and previews how messages could look with BIMI.

Enforce

Enforce is for teams that want to reach DMARC enforcement and stay there without managing records by hand. Thousands of sending services are recognised by name and can be authorised with a single click, and configuration, updates and alerts are automated. Real-time reports show authentication status. Instant SPF, patented software, overrides the SPF lookup limit that breaks authentication for domains with many senders.

Amplify

Amplify handles BIMI for brands that want their brand mark shown beside authenticated mail. It acquires and manages the VMC or CMC certificate, configures the brand image for each domain in a single step, and lets teams assign and swap brand assets across domains. Domains already at enforcement move through BIMI faster.

How It Works

Valimail runs as a hosted service. Enforce reaches continuous DMARC enforcement without the customer editing DNS records, because the service handles configuration and updates itself.

ComponentWhat it does
Sender discoveryMonitor turns IP data from DMARC reports into named sending services, drawing on more than 70 million pre-decoded IP addresses.
Service authorisationAdministrators authorise pre-configured sending services in one click, and the company reports that 99% of sending services can be authorised this way.
Email platformsFull integrations with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, and technology partnerships with Sublime, Cloudflare and Abnormal, connect the service to the mail flow customers already run.
