What is DMARC?
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) is a DNS policy that builds on SPF and DKIM. It tells receiving servers what to do with mail that fails authentication — monitor, quarantine, or reject — and sends you reports on who is sending email using your domain, protecting you from spoofing and improving inbox placement.
DMARC policies explained
A DMARC record sets a policy of none (monitor only), quarantine (send to spam), or reject (block). Most senders start at none to gather reports, then tighten to quarantine or reject once SPF and DKIM are aligned.
