Research

Can They Email As Me? periodically publishes aggregate, de-identified research on email authentication adoption across Australian organisations — never a directory of individual domains and their weaknesses.

Snapshot as of 2026-09-23 08:00 UTC (3 hours ago) · refreshed every few hours, not live · counts each distinct domain once, using its most recent completed check.

Domains checked

25

Distinct domains with at least one completed check.

Publish an SPF record

72%

18 of 25 domains.

Publish a DMARC record

72%

18 of 25 domains.

DMARC set to enforce

48%

Policy is quarantine or reject, not just monitoring (p=none).

Detectable DKIM signing

0%

Best-effort only — DKIM selectors aren't discoverable without sending mail, so this understates real adoption.

SPF + enforcing DMARC together

40%

The combination that meaningfully blocks email spoofing of the domain.

These figures come from domains people have voluntarily checked with this tool — not a random or representative sample of Australian organisations — so they describe this tool's userbase, not the whole economy.

A deeper study — methodology, limitations, versioned data files — will be linked here once published.
