SC Broadband Email Service Will End on January 2, 2025
We want to inform you that SC Broadband will be discontinuing Email service and the Webmail portal website for customers on January 2, 2025. If you have an email account with SC Broadband, your email account with us will no longer accept new emails and the Webmail portal will cease to be available after that date.
We understand that email is a vital communication platform and we do not take this decision to end email service lightly. That's why we are providing ample notification to make this change less impactful. We've also sent notices and additional guidance to the affected email accounts to assist you during this transition period.
For step-by-step guides and answers to common questions, we've provided an Email User Transition Guide at emailguide.scbroadband.com. Our Technical Support Team is also available to help with backing up old emails and transitioning to your new account. Please call 435-263-0000 or email techsupport@scbroadband.com any time you need assistance.
Secure Your Business Email Domain to Prevent Spoofing Attacks
Your email domain is vulnerable. If it’s not authenticated, your messages will be blocked—or worse, spoofed to attack others. Enforcement has started. You need to act.
Invoices, appointment confirmations, customer communication—it all depends on your messages getting through. But if your email domain isn’t secured, cybercriminals can spoof your address and send fake messages that look like they came from you.
They don’t need to hack your system—just exploit your domain’s missing protections. The result? Blocked emails, lost trust, and fraud tied to your brand.
Securing your email domain isn’t just a best practice. It’s a requirement. Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft now enforce strict rules. If your domain doesn’t meet them, your emails won’t make it to the inbox. Or worse, they’ll be weaponized against you.
The Silent Threat Hiding in Plain Sight
Cybercriminals don’t need to hack your email server to attack your business. They just need your domain, or more specifically, the fact that it’s not secured.
Attackers exploit unsecured domains to send fake emails that look legitimate. These spoofed emails can:
Trick customers into paying fraudulent invoices
Target your employees with phishing campaigns
Damage your sender reputation and email deliverability
You don’t see the damage until it’s too late. Recipients either don’t get your emails, or worse, they think you’re the one scamming them.
Are Your Emails Even Reaching Inboxes?
If your domain isn’t secured with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, inbox providers may already be rejecting your messages—without warning.
Google and Yahoo began rejecting bulk email from unauthenticated domains in early 2024. Now Microsoft is joining them, enforcing similar policies starting May 2025. Together, they control over 85% of global inboxes.
They are not asking. They are blocking.
1
Enforce SPF, DKIM & DMARC Records
Without proper domain authentication, your messages won’t make it past inbox filters.
Action Steps:
Publish valid SPF records that authorize your mail servers
Configure DKIM to sign all outbound email with a secure key
Implement DMARC to monitor and reject spoofed messages
2
Align Email Identity With Domain Policy
Misaligned sending sources trigger hard rejections and domain reputation damage.
Action Steps:
Match “From” addresses with verified sending domains
Restrict third-party tools from sending without proper delegation
Set DMARC policy to “reject” for failed authentication attempts
3
Monitor Delivery & Reputation Continuously
Email authentication isn’t set-and-forget—bad actors evolve, and policies break silently.
Action Steps:
Set up regular DMARC aggregate and forensic reporting
Track SPF/DKIM alignment with third-party monitoring tools
Identify unauthorized senders before mailbox providers do
If your domain doesn’t pass these checks, your emails don’t get delivered. Period.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Failing to comply means more than getting flagged as spam. It means:
Email rejection by Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft
Brand hijacking by impersonators and phishing kits
Loss of trust from clients who never see your legitimate messages
Revenue impact from missed leads, delayed invoices, and abandoned outreach
Most businesses don’t act until they start losing deals. By then, the damage is already done.
Get Ahead of the Enforcement Curve
Your domain could already be a target even if you’ve never had a deliverability issue.
Don’t wait until your emails bounce. Let our team audit your DNS records, implement authentication, and monitor your domain’s reputation.
To meet new authentication standards and protect your business, these three controls are non-negotiable:
SPF (Sender Policy Framework):
Defines which mail servers are authorized to send emails from your domain. Without SPF, anyone can spoof your domain to send fake invoices, phishing links, or malicious attachments—directly from what looks like your address.
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail)
Applies a cryptographic signature to every outgoing message. This proves the content wasn’t altered after sending and confirms it came from your systems. Without DKIM, attackers can inject malware into otherwise legitimate-looking emails.
Enforces authentication policies and blocks impersonation attempts. It works by aligning SPF and DKIM with your sending domain, while giving you detailed reports on who’s using—or abusing—your email identity.
The result? You control your domain. Attackers do not.
This Is Not Just About Rules, It’s About Trust
This isn’t just a compliance issue—it’s a trust issue. Your customers need to know it’s really you, so we don’t just plug in settings. We build a hardened email infrastructure around your business.
SC Network Solutions provides:
1
SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration with zero misalignment risk
2
Ongoing monitoring of authentication success and domain abuse
3
Custom policy enforcement to block spoofers
Spoofed emails erode trust, damage your reputation, and get your real messages blocked. This isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting your business relationships and earning customer confidence.
