Viewing DMARC report statistics

If you have enabled both:

• DMARC report analysis
• DMARC report generation, either system-wide or for protected domains (see DMARC section and DMARC Report Setting)

then the FortiMail unit collects statistics about them.

These statistics can be useful to monitor your SPF alignment and DMARC setup because it shows how well other mail servers on the Internet are capable of DMARC and SPF, and if they are successful at validating emails from your protected domains. This includes how many email were sent to each recipient domain name, and how many of those email failed verification. A high failure rate can indicate a misconfiguration, and comparing statistics from different domains can be useful to isolate the cause.

Alternatively, DMARC reports can be generated on demand. See On-demand DMARC reports.
