About this project

Why it exists

Scam emails that claim to come from a city hall, a school district or a health authority work because people trust those names. Whether a forged message reaches an inbox depends partly on a few public DNS records the real organization controls.

Federal departments are required to publish those records, and the federal government tracks how its own domains are doing. Nobody does the same for B.C.'s municipalities, regional districts, school districts and health authorities. This project reads their records once a week and publishes the overall picture, along with a plain guide to fixing what it finds.

What it is not

Independent student project. Not affiliated with the Government of British Columbia or any organization listed. It is not a security audit and it doesn't rank anyone. It reads only records that every mail server on the internet already reads.

Corrections and contact

If you work for one of the listed bodies and want your results, or think a domain in the list is wrong, open an issue on GitHub. Results for a named organization are only shared with that organization.

The source code, the list of domains and the test cases are public.
