    <p>I see nothing wrong with our leading educational lights of
      African Internet switching on more security. SPF is pretty easy.
      DMARC could also happen. I'd also like to see DNSSEC enabled for
      the afnog.org domain, then add  DANE records too, for both Web and
      Mail services. The site has a "Let's Encrypt" certificate and is
      dual stacked already!</p>
    <p>The website, mailserver and domain should be a prime example for
      others to follow.<br>
