DMARC
DMARC is a DNS policy that tells receiving servers what to do with email that fails SPF and DKIM checks — and where to send reports about it.
DMARC ties SPF and DKIM together and lets you enforce a policy (none, quarantine, or reject) against spoofed mail using your domain. It is the key control for protecting your brand from phishing and improving deliverability.
