Code:
v=DMARC1;p=reject;pct=100;rua=mailto:postmaster@dmarcdomain.com
  • Then make sure that they quarantine the messages which are received under the action of request. The action will not be taken, if the message has received from domain.com and DMARC would not configure.
Code:
v=DMARC1;p=quarantine;pct=100;rua=mailto:postmaster@dmarcdomain.com
  • The message from DMARC gets failed and the quarantine has only 5% remaining time.
Code:
"v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; pct=5; rua=mailto:postmaster@your_domain.com"
  • In this step, the sender have set the policy to meet 100% rejection time and so the report has to send on daily basis to dmarc@yahoo_domain.com
Code:
"v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:postmaster@your_domain.com, mailto:dmarc@your_domain.com"
