Parked Domains

Domains you don't use for email
are still targets

Every unprotected domain in your portfolio is a free pass for attackers. Parked domains with no DMARC record are the easiest to spoof — and the hardest for recipients to question.

The Problem

Attackers love
forgotten domains

Your organization owns domains for past brands, internal projects, holding companies, and future products. If they don't have DMARC records, any attacker can send email pretending to be from them — and recipients have no technical reason to reject those messages.

  • No SPF record means any IP can claim to send for your domain
  • No DKIM means there are no signatures to verify
  • No DMARC means receivers have no policy to enforce
  • Attackers actively scan for unprotected domains

The Solution

Three steps to lock down every parked domain

Unlike active sending domains that require months of monitoring before enforcement, parked domains can go straight to p=reject on day one.

Step 1

Add your domain

Enter your parked domain in DMARC Report. No email sending configuration needed — just the domain name.

Step 2

Auto p=reject

We automatically publish a strict reject policy. No monitoring phase needed because the domain should never send email.

Step 3

Monitor for spoofing

Receive aggregate reports showing any spoofing attempts against your parked domains. Get alerted when attackers try.

What You Get

Full protection for domains that should never send email

Automatic p=reject

Parked domains get the strictest policy immediately — no gradual rollout needed since no legitimate email should originate from them.

Aggregate report monitoring

Even with p=reject, you still receive reports showing who attempted to send as your domain. Full visibility into abuse attempts.

Spoofing alerts

Get notified via email or webhook when someone attempts to spoof one of your parked domains. Immediate awareness of abuse.

Bulk domain onboarding

Add dozens or hundreds of parked domains at once via CSV upload or API. Designed for organizations with large domain portfolios.

The DNS Record

One TXT record.
Maximum protection.

For parked domains, the DMARC record is simple: reject everything and send reports to DMARC Report for monitoring. No SPF includes to manage, no DKIM keys to rotate.

We also recommend publishing an empty SPF record (v=spf1 -all) and no DKIM keys to make the domain's non-sending status explicit.

"Best security tool for your own domains"

The weekly reports help me a lot to analyze quickly the emails sent from my domains and that gives me peace of mind.

"Control Centre for Email Security"

I like that we can see and check all reports on just 1 platform. We manage multiple domains, and monitoring them all in one place is essential.

"A great solution to a common email problem."

I have been using them for the last month after my Google business email started giving DMARC errors. I didn't even know what it meant at that time. After a little googling I found that people can spoof it as well. So far so good — the best thing is it protects every email.
