Email authentication standards like DMARC (Domain‑based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) have become indispensable in the fight against spoofing, phishing, and domain impersonation. Organizations rely on DMARC not only to protect their brand but also to ensure the authenticity of email traffic traversing the internet. At DMARCReport, we’re passionate about helping security teams, IT administrators,…
To set up DMARC for stronger email authentication and trust, correctly configure SPF and DKIM for every sending source, publish an initial monitoring DMARC policy (p=none) with aggregate/forensic reporting, analyze alignment and failure data, then progressively enforce to p=quarantine and p=reject while maintaining DKIM key hygiene and continuous monitoring. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and…
Reduce the risk of blocking legitimate mail when enforcing a strict DMARC TXT record by rolling out p=reject gradually with the pct tag and ongoing rua/ruf monitoring, ensuring SPF/DKIM alignment with proper aspf/adkim settings, fully inventorying and validating all sending sources, deployingARC and SRS for forwarding/list scenarios, mitigating SPF/DNS pitfalls, coordinating vendors on keys and…

You can use DMARC lookup findings to fix authentication issues by turning aggregate and forensic reports into a prioritized map of failing senders, IPs, and domains; applying targeted SPF and DKIM alignment fixes; choosing relaxed vs strict alignment; rolling out DMARC policy from none to reject with measured thresholds; addressing forwarding, mailing lists, and third‑party…
Email marketing remains one of the most powerful digital communication channels available today — and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Despite new platforms and tools emerging constantly, email continues to deliver unmatched ROI, engagement, and direct audience access. But the key to success in email marketing isn’t the size of your list —…
Publish a TXT record at _dmarc.yourdomain.com with the value “v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:rua@dmarcreport.com; ruf=mailto:ruf@dmarcreport.com; fo=1; pct=100; adkim=r; aspf=r; sp=none” to begin DMARC monitoring for Office 365 safely and effectively. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) builds on SPF and DKIM to tell receivers how to handle messages that fail authentication. In an Office 365 tenant,…
You can monitor, analyze, and protect your domain for free by implementing SPF, DKIM, and an initial p=none DMARC record with RUA/RUF pointing to DMARCReport, then using DMARCReport’s free analyzer to visualize alignment, tune policies toward quarantine/reject, handle third‑party senders, and integrate alerts and privacy controls at scale. Modern email authentication hinges on three open…

Companies rely on Autotask for sending emails about ticket updates, workflow alerts, invoices, system notifications, and more. Many of these emails are time and response-sensitive, which is why it’s important that domain owners integrate SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for their Autotask accounts. When these emails are not authenticated, receiving mailbox providers may treat them as…
To set up DMARC for your Google Workspace domain without breaking delivery, publish SPF (v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all), generate and enable 2048‑bit DKIM in the Google Admin console, start with DMARC at p=none with rua/ruf to DMARCReport for monitoring, fix and align all third‑party senders via DKIM or aligned SPF, then progressively move to quarantine and…
