DMARCPulse

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about DMARCPulse.

General

What is DMARCPulse?

DMARCPulse is a web-based service for monitoring and analyzing DMARC aggregate reports. It shows you who is sending emails on your behalf and gives you specific recommendations to improve your email authentication.

Who is DMARCPulse for?

For anyone who uses their own domain for email — from solo entrepreneurs to large enterprises. Especially useful for IT admins, agencies and companies managing multiple domains.

What is DMARC?

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is an email authentication protocol that builds on SPF and DKIM. It protects your domain from email spoofing and phishing.

Technical

Is DMARCPulse suitable for large environments?

Yes. DMARCPulse has been tested with over 80 million emails and hundreds of domains within a single tenant. The platform stays performant even with large volumes of data. It is built for agencies and enterprises managing many domains and high email volumes in one account.

How does IMAP fetching work?

DMARCPulse connects via IMAP to your mailbox where DMARC reports arrive. Reports are automatically fetched, extracted and analyzed. The connection is TLS-encrypted.

Do I need to change my DNS?

Not for the basic functionality. You just need an IMAP mailbox where your DMARC reports are sent. DMARCPulse then helps you optimize your DNS records.

Can I connect Microsoft 365 or Gmail without IMAP?

Yes! DMARCPulse supports direct OAuth integration with Microsoft 365 and Google Gmail. Just click "Connect", authorize access, and DMARCPulse fetches your DMARC reports automatically — no IMAP credentials, app passwords or server configuration needed. Microsoft 365 shared mailboxes are supported as well.

Which IMAP providers are supported?

Any standard IMAP server is supported — Gmail, Microsoft 365, self-hosted mail servers, and more. For Microsoft 365 and Gmail, you can also use our direct OAuth integration instead of IMAP.

Can multiple domains share the same IMAP account?

Yes! With shared IMAP accounts you set up the credentials once and assign them to multiple domains. Ideal when all DMARC reports go to the same mailbox.

Security

How are my credentials stored?

IMAP passwords and OAuth tokens for Microsoft 365 and Gmail are stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM — the same standard used by banks. Each credential has its own random initialization vector.

Does DMARCPulse offer two-factor authentication?
