DMARC set to reject — gold-standard email protection is in place

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is a rule that tells receiving email servers what to do with emails that claim to come from your domain but fail authentication checks. Your policy is set to "reject" — the strictest option — which means fraudulent emails are refused outright before reaching anyone's inbox. A "reject" policy prevents criminals from sending phishing or scam emails that appear to come from your domain. This protects your customers, your staff, and your brand reputation. This is the configuration used by banks, large platforms, and security-conscious businesses. No immediate action needed — this is working correctly. Ensure your SPF and DKIM records remain valid whenever you add a new email sending service (such as a newsletter tool or CRM) to avoid accidentally blocking your own legitimate emails.
