TOPIC:
NEW FEATURE: Anti-Spoofing Phrase 7 years 1 month ago #62265
|
EDIT: Note that I have changed the name of this feature to better reflect what its intended purpose is for. Sorry for any confusion.
Since it seems like security is the "thing" now, I am releasing a new email security feature that I came up with to allow you to visibly verify that emails have actually been sent via FreeToastHost on the behalf of your club/district. Generally speaking, one way to try to address this is to require that emails sent to you contain a word, phrase, image or similar known only to you. This works best if the text or image is changed regularly (like for passwords). This is an added basic email authentication approach--while not perfect (hackers are clever), it does provide an extra measure of email security. In line with this, I have implemented a new feature to support entering an "Anti-Spoofing Phrase" of up to 250 characters into your website to be used in emails send through FreeToastHost. If entered, this phrase would be put at the bottom of emails in a nondescript way (not obvious to hackers what it is for) and would give your club members a way to verify the email as actually being sent via FreeToastHost. Take a look at the following: 
Here is an example of what gets inserted--note that it is intentionally nondescript:
