AI Snapshot
Understand DMARC p=none, quarantine, and reject policies when evaluating domain mail risk before purchase.
Policy modes
- none — monitoring only; spoofing may still deliver.
- quarantine — failing mail goes to spam folders.

Due diligence tip
Read _dmarc TXT via the DMARC checker and cross-check MX hosts on the same apex.
