URL: https://www.infobip.com/glossary/dmarc

Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance, or DMARC, is an email authentication tool that prevents data spoofing, tampering, phishing, and cyberattacks.

## How does DMARC work?

DMARC authenticates if either SPF, DKIM, or both pass and decides how to handle the message if it fails authorization.

Not all receiving serves will do a DMARC analysis before obtaining the message, but all the major Internet service providers (ISP) do. 

## What are the benefits of implementing DMARC?

Some benefits of implementing DMARC include warranting domain reputation and security, email reliability, preventing email fraud, ensuring compliance, and more.

## What is a DMARC record?

A DMARC record is a record published in DNS (Domain Name System) that informs email servers how to operate with unauthenticated emails and where to report email authentication statistics.

## Do all email service providers support DMARC?

All major email service providers support DMARC, including Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Apple Mail, and AOL.
