EmailToolTester just released a new insightful story:
DMARC records are TXT records in a domain’s DNS that help protect email senders and recipients from spam, phishing, and email spoofing. A DMARC record allows a sender to indicate that their emails are protected by SPF and/or DKIM, and tells a receiving mail system what to do if neither of those authentication methods passes: Nothing Quarantine the message Reject it. Below are 5 examples of DMARC records, with an explanation of what each configuration means. At the end of the article, I also provide a quick guide on how to create and install a DMARC record yourself. DMARC Record Example 1: For Monitoring Only v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@example.com; v=DMARC1: This indicates the version of DMARC used. This part is mandatory and specifies that this is a DMARC record. p=none: The policy applied to email that fails the DMARC check. In this case, “none” means the domain is not enforcing DMARC
