What is DMARC?

 

 

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) is a policy that tells a domain (or website) which email authentication methods were used by the sender, and what an ISP (Internet Service Provider) should do with a message if it fails those authentication methods. Possible actions include "do nothing", "spam folder" or "bounce" the email, and includes contact information for how to notify the sender of failed messages.

Free email providers, like Yahoo!, AOL, and soon Google, have adopted strict DMARC policies to prevent email fraud - like spam and spoofing. If you use one of these free email providers as your 'from' address for your Constant Contact emails, this will affect you. 

The issue is that when you send email from Constant Contact the email looks like it came from your email address, when you are really are sending from our servers. 


A DMARC policy will tell receiving servers that incoming email with a free ‘from’ address should be rejected because it wasn’t sent through a Yahoo, or AOL, or Google server, which will result in an increased chance that emails will be delivered to a spam folder or get bounced. This policy is affecting all email marketing companies, not just Constant Contact.

Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong. My own beliefs are in my song. The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then, makes no difference what group I'm in. I am everyday people!
