Founder story
How I got into email security.
Seven years ago, while writing my diploma thesis, I came across SPF, DKIM and DMARC for the first time. I was building a multi-domain mail server back then, which forced me to study these standards in depth — what sounds like a dry technical exercise is in fact the difference between landing in the inbox and landing in spam.
This year I analysed 13,000 companies in Austria for their DMARC configuration. The result was sobering:
13,000
companies analysed
1,000
DMARC correct & complete
12,000
gaps in spoofing protection
The remaining ~92 % are exposed — to spoofing,
brand impersonation and phishing campaigns sent in their own name.
Mailantis is my answer: a tool that walks companies step by step from
p=none to p=reject without breaking legitimate mail flow.
I want to support Austrian and DACH businesses on this journey to secure email delivery — pragmatic, German-speaking when needed, without US-cloud risk.
