Zacco - 360° Intellectual Property’s Post

On a daily basis, we see clients being advised to publish a DMARC policy with ‘none’ and without a reporting address. Advice that is meant to meet Google and Yahoo's requirements. However, DMARC is not about meeting the specific demands of Google and Yahoo; it is about gaining control and visibility over which sources are sending emails from your domain names and helping recipients determine if an email is legitimate or not. Therefore, the goal should be to implement at least a ‘quarantine’ policy and preferably a ‘reject’ policy with reporting. This will prevent spoofing and give you control over your outbound email flow. Having a DMARC policy set to ‘none’ without a reporting address is nothing more than a quick fix to meet the current requirements from Google and Yahoo. These requirements might change quickly, for example by mandating the implementation of a ‘quarantine’ policy, which means the work still needs to be done. It's better to get it right from the beginning. Proper and secure DMARC implementation can take some time, so we recommend getting started now. For a DMARC policy tailored to your business needs, please get in touch with Victor Schönemann or any of our Digital Brand experts.
