Does DNSSEC automatically improve deliverability?

Myth: Enabling DNSSEC will improve your inbox placement rates.

Reality: DNSSEC provides security, not deliverability improvement.

What DNSSEC does:

Protects against DNS spoofing/poisoning

Verifies DNS record authenticity

Security enhancement

What DNSSEC does not do:

Influence spam filter decisions

Improve sender reputation

Affect inbox placement algorithms

Indirect benefit:

Ensures authentication records are not tampered with

But most email systems do not require or check DNSSEC

Enable DNSSEC for security. Do not expect deliverability improvement from it.

Tamper-proof seals protect document integrity but do not improve your cargo's desirability.
