Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) is a policy protocol that works with DKIM and SPF to help email domain owners prevent unauthorized use of their domain (email spoofing), and provides reporting on email authentication status.
A DMARC policy is a set of rules that domain owners create to tell email servers how to handle emails that fail authentication checks like SPF and DKIM.
DMARC protection is a set of email security protocols, including DMARC, SPF, and DKIM, that helps prevent email spoofing, phishing, and unauthorized use of a domain.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a system that translates human-readable domain names (like easydmarc.com) into IP addresses, allowing users to access websites and services on the internet.
