Dashboard
Overview
The DMARC+ Dashboard is your starting point for understanding your email authentication posture. It aggregates data from DMARC reports across all your domains into a single view, making it easy to spot problems and track improvement over time.
Dashboard filters
At the top of the dashboard you can filter all data by:
- Domain — view one domain or all domains at once
- Policy — filter by current DMARC policy (
none,quarantine,reject) - Country — see where email is being sent from
- Time period — zoom in on specific date ranges
Use filters to isolate issues. If you're seeing authentication failures, filter by domain and look for unusual sending countries or sources.
Key metrics
DMARC+ Overview cards
Three summary cards show the authentication health of your domains:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Valid SPF records | Number of domains with a correctly configured SPF record |
| Valid DKIM records | Number of domains with DKIM signing in place |
| Valid DMARC records | Number of domains with an active DMARC policy |
Green = configured and passing. Any red or missing cards need attention.
Mail Distribution chart
Shows the breakdown of email volume across your domains by authentication result:
- Pass — email passed both SPF/DKIM and DMARC alignment
- Fail — email failed authentication (potential spoofing or misconfiguration)
- Quarantine — email sent to spam per your DMARC policy
- Reject — email blocked per your DMARC policy
A healthy domain at enforcement should show near-100% pass rate.
Authentication rate trend
A time-series chart showing your SPF pass rate, DKIM pass rate, and overall DMARC pass rate over the selected period.
What to look for:
- A rising trend = good, your configuration is improving
- A sudden drop = something changed — a new sending service added without SPF/DKIM setup, or a DNS change that broke existing records
- Persistent failures in a specific IP range = unauthorised sending source
Top sending sources
A ranked list of IP addresses or sending services sending email from your domain, with their authentication pass/fail breakdown.
Use this to:
- Identify legitimate services you haven't configured SPF/DKIM for (e.g., a marketing tool, CRM, or helpdesk)
- Spot unknown or suspicious senders — anyone not on your approved list sending from your domain is a red flag
- Prioritise which sources to fix first (highest volume failures first)
Geographic distribution
A map or table showing which countries email is being sent from.
What to look for: Email from countries you don't operate in — especially if those IPs are failing authentication. This is a strong signal of spoofing.
Reading your dashboard at a glance
Ask these three questions:
- Are my authentication rates above 95%? — If not, you can't safely move to
p=rejectyet - Are there unknown sending sources? — Any IP failing authentication that you don't recognise should be investigated
- Is my trend improving? — Each week should show higher pass rates as you fix sending sources
Acting on dashboard data
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Low SPF pass rate | Check the SPF Explorer — find failing sources and add them to your SPF record |
| Low DKIM pass rate | Set up DKIM signing for the failing sending service |
| Unknown sending source | Investigate the IP — is it a service you've onboarded? If not, is someone spoofing your domain? |
| High fail rate from one country | Block or investigate — may indicate a spam campaign using your domain |
| Auth rate > 95% consistently | Ready to advance your DMARC policy to the next stage |
