About DMARC enforcement

DMARC works best as a journey: start at p=none to monitor, then move to p=quarantine and finally p=reject once aggregate reports confirm all legitimate mail aligns. Jumping straight to reject risks blocking real email, so this advisor reads your current record and recommends only the next safe step.

Keep a rua reporting address at every stage, fix SPF and DKIM for each sending source, and ramp pct gradually. Full enforcement (p=reject) is the goal — it stops spoofers from using your domain.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got Questions? We Have Answers.

What does the DMARC policy advisor do?

It fetches your live DMARC record, identifies your enforcement stage (none, quarantine or reject), and recommends the safe next step with a ready-to-publish record.

Why not jump straight to p=reject?

Enforcing before all legitimate mail aligns will block real email. The advisor recommends only the next safe step so you ramp without breaking delivery.

Do I need a reporting address at p=none?

Yes. Without a rua address, p=none gives you no visibility. Reporting is what tells you when it is safe to advance.

How long should I stay at each stage?

Typically two to four weeks per stage — long enough for aggregate reports to confirm every source aligns before you tighten the policy.

Does this read my live DNS?

Yes. Your DMARC record is resolved over DNS-over-HTTPS at the moment you run the advisor — no cached data.

What is the goal of DMARC?

p=reject — where receivers block unauthenticated mail claiming to be your domain. That is the point at which spoofing is stopped.
