What is a DMARC summary page?
A DMARC summary page provides a comprehensive overview of your DMARC policy results, allowing you to monitor the effectiveness of your protection against email spoofing and phishing.
Why is it important?
- Visibility into attacks: The summary page shows you the different types of attacks your domain is facing (spoofing, SPF softfail, DKIM fail).
- Compliance rate: It indicates the percentage of emails sent from your domain that comply with your DMARC policy.
- Trends: You can observe how these metrics evolve over time, allowing you to identify potential trends and adjust your policy accordingly.
- Problem detection: The summary page can alert you to configuration issues or new types of attacks.
- Proof of compliance: In case of a dispute, the summary page can serve as proof that you have implemented measures to protect your domain.
