What we measure

DMARC enforcement blocks spoofed emails. DMARC reporting tells you when spoofing attempts are happening, so you can act on it. Without reporting, you're flying blind.

How to improve your score

Add `rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com` (or use a free service like dmarcian / Postmark DMARC) to your DMARC TXT record. Check the weekly aggregate reports to see who's spoofing your domain.

Already collected — separate from policy enforcement. Both matter.

Scoring

Scoring formulas are versioned with the methodology. The current method (v1.1.0) maps raw measurements to pass, warn, fail. Factor weights determine how much each contributes to the composite — see the methodology index for the full table.
