As part of the ongoing efforts to further prevent phishing and email scams targeting our email domain (Humber.ca), Humber College has adopted DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance), which is a policy and reporting protocol for email verification. 

Check out this visual explainer on how DMARC works. 

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is a protocol that verifies the validity of incoming emails and checks if they have been altered or falsified. If an email fails this verification, it will NOT be delivered to the recipient's inbox. Instead, an email will be sent to the sender to inform them that their email was not delivered. This protocol helps protect against email scams and phishing. 

How will this impact you? Your user experience will remain the same; you won't notice any difference in your Humber email account or how you use it. However, if you send communications from a vendor software other than Microsoft Outlook with a Humber email address and are unsure how this change will impact you, please contact the IT Support Centre at 416.675.6622 x8888. You can also reach out to humber.ca/techtalk (24x7 live chat) or Tech Zone for drop-in support - North, Lakeshore and IGS campus Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. to request DMARC setup and validation.
