DMARC monitoring, not just DMARC ingestion.
Publish one CNAME, and we take over the hosted reporting address, the report parsing, and the story the reports actually tell — the compliance percentage, the known and unknown sources, and the forwarders that would otherwise look like a threat.
The reports arrive as XML you never open.
You send more than 5,000 messages a day to Gmail. Since Google and Yahoo’s February 2024 bulk-sender rules, that means you need DMARC — or your consumer mail starts landing in the promotions tab, then the spam folder, then nowhere. Your aggregate DMARC reports arrive as XML at an address you’ve never checked, from reporters you can’t identify. Nobody on the team can honestly say what percentage of your mail is aligned this week.
The reports become a picture, not a mailbox.
sendrules gives you a hosted reporting address you publish once. We ingest the reports, decode them, join them to the domains and lanes the routing layer already knows about, and surface the story: what your compliance percentage is today, which sources are sending under your domain, which of those are you, and which of the failures are forwarders you can safely ignore.
5,000 a day to Gmail is the line.
Google and Yahoo’s February 2024 bulk-sender rules made DMARC a requirement for anyone sending more than 5,000 messages a day to their consumer users. Fall below the bar and your mail starts landing in the promotions tab, then the spam folder, then nowhere at all — with no notification, no bounce, and no dashboard row telling you why open rates halved. The threshold is per-provider and cumulative, and it does not reset week to week.
The compliance percentage that matters.
Known, unknown, and forwarded.
One CNAME to publish. We take the reports from there.
The workspace generates the hosted reporting address for each of your domains. You publish one CNAME record — the reporters see a valid address, we receive the reports on your behalf, and the dashboard fills in as the first ones land (usually within twenty-four hours). No mailbox to provision, no XML parser to maintain, no separate vendor bill. If you already publish a reporting address elsewhere, you can add ours alongside it — DMARC allows more than one recipient.
