    I've found a neat tool from Postmark which collects DMARC reports about emails sent from your domain by email providers, and sends you a weekly email summarizing what it finds. It's a very interesting way to find out if your domain is being abused - I was shocked to find that over 2,000 emails have been sent from my domain via unauthorized sources in the past week. :eek:

    What are the typical failed percentages in your weekly reports?

    My first report seems high (19% failure).

    I get between 0-20% failure/untrusted sources across 200+ domain hostnames.

    You're probably interpreting untrusted sources/failures incorrectly. A bit more about untrusted sources/failures DMARC Untrusted Sources - Postmark Help

    Yeah, I read that page. I guess these are just messages from my domain being forwarded or relayed elsewhere, but it caught my attention because many of the mail servers were from India, Brazil, and Mexico - none of which are particularly heavy traffic countries for my website - and made me suspect spam.

    make sure your dns is setup properly too. I had one of my domains with alot of failure/untrusted sources and it turns out the parked domain had the wrong DNS A record IP set. After I moved servers, I forgot to update that parked domain's DNS A record IP address. So SPF/DKIM checks when they looked up the A record IP it was resolving to incorrect server IP :whistle:

    Glad I found this. I setup a DMARC for each domain a month or so ago and have been looking at them manually.

    It actually was helpful. One of our sites was missing an SPF record but still had its DKIM setup properly.

    This is serious business :) and a serious mail volume.
    As you are using centminmod and regularly ask for advice on this forum.
    A donation to @eva2000 seems logical and justified to me.
    My two cents;)

    Who says I haven't? Thanks for the unsolicited advice on what to do with my money though.

    ok. 0,02$, but it's expensive to transfer only 0,02$ from Brasil to Brisbaine.

    I learned recently that Cloudflare has it too. I'll try Postmark to see how it compares.
