FROM RAW REPORTS TO USEFUL CONTEXT

A DMARC report analyzer that makes the data easier to act on

DMARC reports contain useful information about email sent using your domain, but the raw reports can be difficult to interpret.

InboxPlacement.io organizes that information into authentication results, sending sources, volume trends, and policy analysis. See which sources are aligned, where failures appear, and what needs a closer look.

Use the DMARC analyzer to investigate reported authentication results before deciding what to change.

Monitoring reflects the reports received from participating email providers.

GETTING STARTED

Start monitoring in three steps

Setup keeps your current policy in view while reporting begins. You remain in control of DNS changes.

STEP 01

Add your domain

Add a domain to your account and review its current DMARC configuration.

STEP 02

Configure DNS reporting

Follow the setup instructions to publish the reporting configuration in your DNS, then verify the domain.

STEP 03

Review incoming reports

As reports arrive, explore authentication results, sending sources, and trends in your dashboard.

Already have a DMARC record? Review your existing configuration and add the required reporting destination through the setup flow.

READ THE RESULTS

Understand authentication and alignment separately

An email can pass SPF or DKIM authentication and still have an alignment problem. Your DMARC report separates these results so you can see where the issue occurs.

Review SPF authentication, SPF alignment, DKIM authentication, DKIM alignment, and the overall DMARC pass rate for the reported messages.

  • See the percentage and message count behind each result.
  • Compare authentication results with domain alignment.
  • Use the findings to investigate configuration problems in your sending services.

Reported results reflect messages included in available aggregate reports.

AUTHENTICATIONDid the SPF or DKIM check pass?

A check can pass for its own authenticated domain.

ALIGNMENTDoes the authenticated domain align with the visible From domain?

DMARC passes when at least one supported method passes and aligns.

INVESTIGATE SOURCES

Find the sending sources that need your attention

Bring reported sending sources into one view. Review their email volume, DMARC results, SPF and DKIM alignment, and reported disposition.

Search by sender name, IP address, or PTR information. Use the available reporter and status filters to narrow your investigation.

Review sending sources and alignment results in one place.

An unfamiliar source may be a legitimate service, a configuration issue, or suspicious activity. Source details help you decide what to investigate next.
INTELLIGENCE REPORT

Follow changes in your domain’s email activity

Use the Intelligence Report to understand patterns over time and put individual failures into context.

01

Email volume and authentication trends

Review reported email volume and authentication trends over time. Look for changes that may warrant a closer examination of your sending services.

02

Policy impact and readiness

Review your current DMARC policy alongside authentication results and policy history. Use the readiness guidance and Policy Wizard to support your next policy decision.

03

Source and geographic context

Explore source analysis and geographic views to understand the IP addresses and regions associated with reported traffic.

This preview explains factors to review before changing a DMARC policy. It does not connect to your DNS, change records, or recommend an automatic enforcement update. Review all legitimate sources and your receiving-provider reports first.

Policy readiness depends on the reports and configuration available for review.

GOOD TO KNOW

DMARC monitoring questions

Clear answers about reports, setup, and what the data can tell you.

What is DMARC monitoring?

DMARC monitoring collects and analyzes reports from participating email receivers. These reports show sending sources, SPF and DKIM results, domain alignment, and how receivers handled reported messages. InboxPlacement.io organizes that information into dashboards you can use to investigate authentication issues and unfamiliar sources.

How is DMARC monitoring different from a DMARC checker?

A DMARC checker examines the DMARC record published in your DNS. DMARC monitoring analyzes incoming reports over time, helping you understand how reported email traffic is authenticating.

What is the difference between authentication and alignment?

Authentication checks whether SPF or DKIM passes. Alignment checks whether the authenticated domain aligns with the domain in the visible From address. DMARC passes when at least one supported authentication method passes with alignment.

How do I start receiving DMARC reports?

Add your domain and follow the reporting setup instructions. Publish the required configuration in your DNS and verify the domain. Reports appear as participating receivers send them. Many receivers report daily, so results build over time.

Can I review unfamiliar sending sources?

Yes. Sender analysis provides reported sources, message volumes, authentication results, and alignment information. Search and filters help you investigate sources you do not recognize.

Can I monitor more than one domain?

Yes. The Domains view lets you review multiple domains in one account. DMARC Monitoring is priced at US$19 per domain per month.

Does DMARC monitoring show whether an email reached the inbox?

DMARC monitoring shows authentication and reported handling information. To measure placement across the available seed inboxes, use the Inbox Placement Test.

What are RUA and RUF reports?

RUA reports are aggregate summaries of reported email traffic and authentication results. RUF reports provide failure information when supported and supplied by the receiving provider. The dashboard includes aggregate analysis and available failure-report views.
