Policy & Reporting

Understand DMARC policies, enforcement levels, and aggregate and forensic reports.

Your DMARC policy (p=none, p=quarantine, or p=reject) tells receiving mail servers how to handle messages that fail authentication. Reporting tags (rua and ruf) tell those servers where to send aggregate and forensic reports back to you.
