Plain-English explainers for the checks Nattvakt runs - what each one means, why it matters, and exactly how to fix it.

What is DMARC?
DMARC ties SPF and DKIM together and tells receiving servers what to do with mail that fails. Here is how it works and how to publish your first record.
How to fix DMARC p=none
p=none only watches - it does not stop spoofing. Here is the safe, staged path to p=reject without blocking your own mail.
How to set up an SPF record
One TXT record decides which servers may send mail as you. Here is the syntax, the one-record rule, the 10-lookup limit, and how to end it.
How to enable DNSSEC
DNSSEC signs your DNS so resolvers can detect forged answers. Enabling it is two steps - sign the zone, then publish the DS record - in the right order.
HTTP security headers explained
A handful of response headers tell browsers how to protect your visitors. Here is what HSTS, CSP and the rest do, and how to add them.
