Dashboard Guide

Learn how to navigate the DDMARC dashboard to monitor your email authentication, analyze reports, track senders, and manage your DMARC deployment.

Dashboard Sections

Overview Page

The Overview page provides a bird's-eye view of your email authentication status:

Summary Cards

Key metrics at a glance: total emails processed, pass rate percentage, authentication failures, and active domains count.

Trend Charts

Interactive line charts showing pass/fail rates over time. Switch between 7, 14, 30, or 90-day views to track improvement as you deploy DMARC.

Recent Activity

Timeline of recent events including new reports received, policy violations, new senders detected, and DNS changes.

Domain Summary

Quick status cards for each domain showing policy level, pass rate, and recent activity. Click a domain to dive into its details.

Reports

The Reports page shows all incoming DMARC aggregate reports from email providers:

Report List Columns

ColumnDescription
ReporterOrganization that sent the report (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc.)
DomainYour domain the report is about
Date RangeTime period covered by the report (usually 24 hours)
TotalNumber of emails in the report
PassEmails that passed DMARC authentication
FailEmails that failed DMARC authentication
Pass RatePercentage of passing emails with visual indicator

Report Details

Click on any report to see detailed breakdowns by source IP, including geolocation data, ASN information, SPF/DKIM/DMARC results, and alignment status.

Domains

Manage your monitored domains and their configurations:

Domain List

View all domains with their verification status, DMARC policy, and pass rates. Add new domains or remove existing ones.

DNS Configuration

Get exact DNS records to add to your domain. Copy-paste ready TXT records for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and optional MTA-STS/BIMI.

Domain Detail View

Click any domain to access its dedicated dashboard with:

  • Domain-specific pass rate trends
  • Top sending sources for this domain
  • Recent authentication failures
  • DMARC policy history and changes
  • Compliance score and recommendations
  • Quick DNS verification check

Senders

Track and categorize all IP addresses that have sent email using your domain:

Authorized Senders

IPs that pass authentication. These are your legitimate email senders (mail servers, marketing platforms, CRM systems).

Unauthorized Senders

IPs failing authentication. Could be spoofing attempts or misconfigured legitimate services that need SPF/DKIM setup.

Sender Categories

Organize senders into categories for better visibility:

Manual Checks

Run on-demand DNS checks to verify your records are configured correctly. Get instant validation with detailed error messages.

Scheduled Monitoring

Plus+

Automatic periodic checks with alerts when records change or become invalid. Set monitoring intervals from hourly to daily.

TLS ReportsPlus+

TLS-RPT (RFC 8460) reports reveal TLS negotiation failures between sending mail servers and your domain, helping you identify and fix encryption issues:

Report Analysis

  • Policy-level success and failure counts
  • Failure type breakdown (certificate, STARTTLS, DANE)
  • Sending MTA and receiving MX identification
  • Per-policy detailed failure reasons
  • Reporting organization metadata
  • Trend analysis across reporting periods

Failure Types

Categorizes failures like certificate-expired, certificate-host-mismatch, starttls-not-supported, sts-policy-invalid, and more per RFC 8460.

Success Rate Tracking

Monitor your overall TLS success rate and track improvements as you fix certificate and configuration issues.

Forensic ReportsProfessional+

Detailed failure reports (RUF) provide granular information about individual authentication failures:

What's Included

  • Source IP address with geolocation
  • Original sender and recipient addresses
  • Full authentication results (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
  • Sample email headers for investigation
  • ASN and organization information
  • Failure reason and type classification

Privacy Note

Forensic reports may contain sensitive information. DDMARC securely stores reports with encryption and role-based access control.

ExportsPlus+

Download your data for offline analysis, compliance reporting, or integration with other tools:

DMARC Reports

Export all report records with authentication results, source IPs, and disposition.

Senders

Export sender data with categories, pass rates, geolocation, and notes.

Activity Log

Export audit trail with timestamps, actions, users, and IP addresses.

Filtering & Search

Use the toolbar at the top of each page to filter and customize your view:

Date Range

Select predefined ranges (24h, 7d, 30d, 90d) or set custom dates

Filters

Filter by domain, source IP, result type, reporter, or sender category

Search

Search by domain name, IP address, ASN organization, or reporter name
