  • Reports

    Whether you get reports that show who is sending mail as your domain.

DMARC questions

Straight answers about your results.

What is DMARC?

DMARC is a DNS record that tells mail servers what to do with email that fails SPF or DKIM checks. It helps stop others from sending mail that pretends to be you.

Which DMARC policy should I use?

Start with p=none and read the reports for a few weeks. Once all your real senders pass, move to quarantine, then to reject.

Do Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC?

Yes, for bulk senders. Since 2024, Google and Yahoo require anyone who sends large volumes of email to publish a DMARC record.

Is the DMARC check free?

Yes. It’s free and there’s nothing to sign up for.
