A company is seeing phishing messages that impersonate its domain and wants to publish p=reject<\/code> immediately. Its WordPress receipts pass DKIM, but the help desk, events platform, and a regional relay also use the same From domain and have never been reviewed.<\/p>\n

    What it means<\/h2>\n

    DMARC compares the domain visible in the From header with the domains authenticated by SPF and DKIM. A message passes when at least one mechanism succeeds and aligns with the From domain. The DNS record also tells receivers what to do with failures and where to send aggregate reports.<\/p>\n
