Domain Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of your email authentication configuration. Get alerted to changes, new senders, and potential threats before they cause problems.
What Gets Monitored
DMARCsimple continuously monitors your domain for:
- DMARC record changes — Policy modifications, reporting address changes
- SPF record changes — Added or removed sending sources
- DKIM configuration — Key changes, selector modifications
- New sending sources — Services sending email as your domain
- Authentication failures — Spike in failed messages
- Potential spoofing — Unauthorized sending attempts
Alert Types
Configuration Alerts
Get notified when DNS records change — whether intentionally or accidentally. Catch misconfigurations before they affect deliverability.
New Source Alerts
When a new service starts sending email as your domain, you'll know immediately. Legitimate new tool? Approve it. Unknown source? Investigate.
Failure Spike Alerts
Sudden increase in authentication failures can indicate configuration problems or active abuse. Early detection means faster resolution.
Compliance Alerts
Tracking toward DMARC enforcement? Get alerted when you're ready to move to the next policy level, or if issues would prevent safe progression.
