I am confused about what exactly this means if we just have a personal domain for my professional emails. Which are just a couple a day at a max (really depends on if I am looking for a new job or not).
Does this make having email accounts like this viable anymore? Am I at risk of my emails not getting where I expect them too, particularly important if I am looking for a new job?
I use Amazon WorkMail so will need to see if that has done what is necessary, but still worried what exactly this will mean.
Edit: Is there a tool to validate that things are setup how we need it to be?
- brightball 3y agoEverything I have read to this point is that it will only affect you if you're sending > 5,000 message / day. Admittedly, there's no excuse for not having DMARC setup at that scale at this point as it's been a decade. But as far as the policy, it doesn't have to be enforced. For most people, this just means that they'll need to a quick DNS entry to their domain for an unenforced policy. Example... TXT _dmarc.example.com "v=DMARC1; p=none;" I did a 3 part DMARC writeup a while back if you're curious to learn more. It's not hard to setup. In fact, the smaller you are, the easier it is. https://www.brightball.com/tag/dmarc-guide https://www.brightball.com/tag/dmarc-guide
