Generating visual DMARC reports

[bill]

Does anyone here use DMARC on their e-mail? Any domain that has an SPF record or DKIM keys associated with it can also add a DMARC entry on their DNS. A DMARC policy allows a sender to indicate that their emails are protected by SPF and/or DKIM, and tells a receiver what to do if neither of those authentication methods passes - such as junk or reject the message. The cool thing about DMARC is that you can get reports mailed to you that tell you which messages pass or fail, so you can try out DMARC in reporting mode to see whether you want to actually use it.

I setup DMARC on many of my domains, and now I'm being mailed daily reports in XML format. In the beginning it was interesting to check out the reports by hand to see if there were failures. However, now I'm accumulating a bunch of mails and I wondered if there might be a system out there I could drop all these XML attachments and pump out a visual report of some sort.

I finally found something for this if anyone is interested. It's called DMARCian. You can forward your DMARC XML reports to the service and they give you a nice graphic report, sort of like Analytics, that you an visualize if there are problems with mail sent or forwarded.

I was able to forward all of the XML files I'd received since June and they generated a report in minutes.
