    DMARC Record Checker

    DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance, RFC 7489) builds on SPF and DKIM to tell receivers what to do when authentication fails. Without DMARC at p=quarantine or p=reject, attackers can spoof your domain at scale. This tool fetches your _dmarc TXT record and grades the policy.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where does the DMARC record live?

    At the subdomain _dmarc.yourdomain.com as a TXT record starting with v=DMARC1.

    What's the difference between p=none, p=quarantine, and p=reject?

    p=none is monitoring only. p=quarantine sends failing mail to spam. p=reject blocks it outright. Most teams ramp from none → quarantine → reject over a few months while watching aggregate reports.

    Do I need an aggregate (rua) reporting address?

    Yes. Without rua=mailto:..., you have zero visibility into who is sending as your domain — both legitimate and spoofed.
