DMARC in monitoring mode provides visibility, but it is not sufficient. After all, visibility alone does not stop abuse. Once you know that there are unauthorized senders sending emails on behalf of your domain, continuing to monitor them without taking any preventive steps serves little purpose. At this stage, it is important that you start…
A DMARC Analyzer like DMARCReport reduces phishing from your domain by enforcing SPF/DKIM alignment through DMARC policy, mapping and eliminating unauthorized senders with aggregate/forensic reporting, and guiding you—via dashboards, alerts, and automated policy recommendations—from monitor to quarantine/reject without disrupting legitimate mail. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) is the control plane for email identity:…
If you send email marketing campaigns using FreshMail, you already know how powerful and flexible the platform is. However, to ensure your emails actually reach the inbox and don’t get blocked, flagged as spam, or rejected outright, you need to authenticate your domain properly. That’s where SPF and DKIM come in — two critical email…
A DMARC record is a DNS TXT policy that tells receiving mail servers how to handle emails that claim to be from your domain by verifying SPF/DKIM alignment, and it matters because it prevents spoofing, improves deliverability, and gives you visibility through reports to enforce authentication safely. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) builds…
This is the first edition of the month, and we have curated the top four cyber incidents that you must be well-versed in. Cyber mishaps this week revolved around a data breach at Higham Lane School, a potential cyber scam that was prevented by a hacker, and Brightspeed’s customer data breach incident. Meanwhile, the unfortunate…
Email authentication is no longer a luxury — it’s a critical part of protecting your domain from abuse, spoofing, phishing, and deliverability issues. At DMARCReport, we help thousands of organizations understand and resolve technical email security problems every day. One of the most common issues domain owners encounter when managing DMARC records is an error…
To create a DMARC record, you publish a DNS TXT record at _dmarc.yourdomain.com containing at least v=DMARC1 (this must be first) and p=(none|quarantine|reject), and you typically add optional tags like rua, ruf, pct, adkim, aspf, sp, fo, and ri to control reporting, alignment, rollout, and subdomain behavior. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) tells…
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…
As email threats continue to grow, protecting your domain from phishing, spoofing, and fraudulent use of your brand is no longer a “nice-to-have” — it’s essential. And at the heart of strong email defense is DMARC — Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance. When implemented correctly, DMARC empowers domain owners to take control over how…
Cyber incidents this week focused on QR code phishing scams, neutralizing African cybercrime groups, and a major ransomware attack on a Ghanaian bank. While Kaspersky discovered an upsurge in QR code phishing, Operation Sentinel disrupted major cybercrime groups. Meanwhile, the Ghanaian bank suffered a major ransomware attack as cybercrooks managed to wipe away USD 120,000….
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 —…
