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 —…
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,…
