Email dan DNS for Sentry

medium6 checks

Email authentication protects the brand, not the website. SPF, DMARC, DKIM, DNSSEC and CAA are cheap controls that stop spoofing and rogue certificates.

What Sentry must have

  • SPF record ending in -all with every legitimate sender listed
  • DMARC published, moving from p=none to quarantine then reject
  • DKIM signing enabled on the mail provider
  • DNSSEC signed at the registrar
  • CAA record restricting which CAs may issue certificates
  • MTA-STS and TLS-RPT for inbound mail

How to fix it

  1. 1Publish DMARC in monitoring mode first, then tighten after reviewing reports
  2. 2Add CAA for the CA you actually use, usually letsencrypt.org

Sentry context

Error monitoring and performance tracing SDK.

DSNs are public by design, but ensure PII scrubbing and that source maps are not publicly reachable.
