	=== Implementing DMARC on your domain ===

	DMARC is extremely powerful as a tool to stop email spoofing. At the same time, it's highly complicated and risky to implement. If you set a DMARC policy without knowing all of your email sources (mailboxes, email marketing, CRM, transactional email, server alerts, etc) you could potentially reject legitimate emails. It is recommended that you first set your DMARC policy to p=none. This will allow you to receive reports on the sending sources of your emails and slowly align all outgoing email with DKIM and SPF for your domain.

	DMARC ~~standardizes how email receivers perform email authentication~~. ~~This means that senders will experience consistent authentication results for their messages at AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo!~~ and ~~any other email receiver implementing~~ DMARC~~. This should encourage senders to more broadly authenticate their outbound email which can make email a more reliable way~~ to ~~communicate~~.		DMARC is based on a DNS TXT record that is added to the _dmarc subdomain of your domain. The format and values of the record defines your DMARC policies as well as where you would like to receive reports.
