Email routing and gateway configurations play a vital role in maintaining secure communication in schools. With services like INKY Phish Fence and Google Domains Email Forwarding active, IT administrators should routinely audit these host entries to ensure they align with current email security protocols and routing needs.

Even when tools like phishing filters and forwarding services are beneficial, they must be properly maintained and consistently reviewed. Schools should confirm who set up these gateways, their intended use, and whether they’re still necessary—especially after personnel or service changes. Misconfigured or outdated gateways can lead to delivery issues or security risks.

At Get Set Tech, we help schools assess and streamline their Google Workspace configurations—including email gateways, MX records, and phishing defenses—to ensure smooth and secure communication that supports learning.
