# DMARC record check

> Parses your DMARC record and warns if policy is p=none, missing rua, or misaligned with SPF/DKIM — the three most common Gmail 2024+ rejection reasons.

## Quick answer

 Lemwatch fetches _dmarc.yourdomain.com and warns on p=none, missing rua, wrong alignment, or invalid syntax.

## What it checks

- v=DMARC1 tag and syntax

- Policy strength (none / quarantine / reject)

- rua= reporting address

- Alignment mode (aspf / adkim)

- Subdomain policy (sp=)

## Where to find it in Lemwatch

 **Site details → Security → Email auth.**

## How to fix

- Start at p=none with a valid rua= to collect reports.

- Review reports for 2 weeks.

- Move to p=quarantine, then p=reject.

- Ensure SPF or DKIM aligns with the From: domain.

## FAQ

### Why is p=none flagged?

 Gmail/Yahoo bulk-sender rules (Feb 2024+) require p=quarantine or stronger for senders >5k msgs/day.

### What's a good rua address?

 Use a mailbox you actually read, or a report-parsing service.
