We continue to challenge ourselves and others to incorporate “AI” or “LLMs” or “Robots” into our daily workflow to improve productivity.
I wanted to learn more about DMARC reports for websites, which I knew were important, but I didn’t know much about them. Here are 8 of the 50 DMARC notices we received.
FIrst of all, what is DMARC? DMARC is an email validation system designed to detect and prevent email spoofing. It builds on existing authentication protocols like Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). By implementing DMARC, domain owners can specify how email receivers should handle unauthenticated emails. This includes options to monitor, quarantine, or reject such messages. A critical aspect of DMARC is its reporting feature, which provides domain owners with insights into how their email domain is being used, both legitimately and illegitimately.
To leverage the benefits of DMARC reports, organizations need to publish a DMARC record in their DNS. This record specifies the DMARC policy and the email addresses where reports should be sent. Once implemented, domain owners should regularly review and analyze the reports. Many tools and services can help parse and visualize DMARC reports, making it easier to interpret the data and take appropriate actions.
I wanted this kind of functionality, so I asked the “robot,” or my co-intelligence, (ChatGPT) to teach me and recommend vendors.
This query to AI took less than 3 minutes. This saved me an estimated 2 hours of Google searches, researching results, and reading. Amazing.
How are you incorporating “the robots” into your daily workflow?
