Reads every DMARC report automatically and only alerts you when SPF or DKIM verification actually fails.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

Your domain generates a flood of DMARC reports from every email provider you send to, and almost none of them matter. Real problems, like someone spoofing your address or a misconfigured record, get buried in noise you never have time to read.

Who it fits

An IT admin or postmaster managing a company's email domain security.

How it works

  1. A DMARC report email arrives in the inbox
  2. The report is unpacked and its data is read
  3. Results are logged into a database for record-keeping
  4. A Slack and email alert is sent only when SPF or DKIM verification failed
What you get

Authentication failures flagged the moment they happen

You only hear about email authentication problems when SPF or DKIM actually fails, so your domain's reputation stays protected without watching every report yourself.

What you get

A database log of every report, plus an alert only when there's an actual authentication problem.

What you need

An email inbox with IMAP access, a MySQL or MariaDB database, and Slack.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
