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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
Email security is among the most critical aspects of modern digital communications. Every year, organizations lose money, time, and reputation due to email fraud, phishing attacks, and domain spoofing. Studies show that even small breaches can cost businesses tens of thousands of dollars, while larger enterprises can lose millions per incident. With email-based threats rising…
DMARC improves deliverability and reduces phishing by enforcing domain-aligned authentication (SPF/DKIM) that mailbox providers trust to place legitimate emails in the inbox while blocking or quarantining spoofed messages at scale. DMARC—Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance—adds a policy and reporting layer on top of SPF and DKIM so receivers can verify that a message claiming…
To stop email spoofing, create and publish a TXT record at _dmarc.yourdomain.com with a value like v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@yourdomain.com; ruf=mailto:dmarc-forensics@yourdomain.com; adkim=s; aspf=s; pct=100; fo=1; ri=86400 only after verifying that all your senders pass SPF and/or DKIM in alignment with your From domain. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) lets domain owners tell receivers how…
Implement DMARC for multiple domains and subdomains by standardizing a DNS template (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), inventorying all sending services, using parent-level inheritance with the DMARC sp tag where appropriate, centralizing rua/ruf reporting, rolling out p=none then gradually enforcing per domain (quarantine → reject) based on report-driven confidence, automating DNS and DKIM key management via APIs/IaC,…
