What is DMARC?
DMARC is an email authentication standard that helps prevent spoofing and improves deliverability. It tells Gmail/Outlook what to do if a message fails authentication checks.
DMARC in plain English
DMARC is a policy layer on top of SPF and DKIM. SPF says “these servers can send mail for my domain.” DKIM says “this message was signed by my domain.” DMARC ties them together and lets you publish what mailbox providers should do when messages fail authentication.
The policy is the p=
tag: none
(monitor), quarantine
(send to spam), or reject
(block). The most common safe rollout is: publish p=none
with reporting
(rua=), fix alignment issues, then gradually move toward quarantine/reject.
- p=none forever — you get visibility but no enforcement.
-
No reporting
— missing/invalid
rua=means you can’t see failures. - Alignment issues — SPF/DKIM can “pass” but still fail DMARC if they don’t align with your From domain.
