DMARC is short for **D**omain based **M**essage **A**uthentication, **R**eporting and **C**onformance and is described in [RFC 7489](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7489). With DMARC the owner of a domain can, by means of a DNS record, publish a policy that states how to handle e-mail (deliver, quarantine, reject) which is not properly authenticated using SPF and/or DKIM.
At the same time DMARC also provides the means for receiving reports which allows a domain's administrator to detect whether their domainname is used for phishing or spam.
# Why use DMARC?
Before DMARC, organizations already took several measures to determine the authenticity of an e-mail (like SPF and DKIM) to reduce the received amount of SPAM to a minimum. This is basically a good thing, but if these measures fail to choose whether or not an email is SPAM with a high level of certainty, the choice is redirected to the addressee (receiving party). This methodology is prone to abuse, since users are generally not equiped with the knowledge and/or means to classify incoming emails.

Be aware that implementing a DMARC record without a rua configuration is possible, this is not advised because the DMARC XML files that are received by implementing a rua email address can help with implementing DKIM or SPF to meet the DMARC requirements.

### Set up reporting
to-do
In order to become DMARC compliant, we need to start sending aggregate DMARC reports. Let's start by creating an OpenDMARC database using the provided MySQL script (/usr/share/doc/opendmarc/schema.mysql) in the OpenDMARC package.
In the example below the user root is used to create the new "opendmarc" database. If you would also like to create a user with access to the database, then uncomment the last two lines in the MySQL script and make sure to change the default 'changeme' password into something strong.
mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/doc/opendmarc/schema.mysql
After creation of the database, you need to create an executable Bash script in order to be able to send out reports. Create the file **/etc/opendmarc/report_script** and use the following content:
```
#!/bin/bash
DB_SERVER='database.example.nl'
DB_USER='opendmarc'
DB_PASS='somethingstrong'
DB_NAME='opendmarc'
WORK_DIR='/var/run/opendmarc'
REPORT_EMAIL='dmarc@example.nl'
REPORT_ORG='Example Company (example.nl)'
mv ${WORK_DIR}/opendmarc.dat ${WORK_DIR}/opendmarc_import.dat -f
cat /dev/null > ${WORK_DIR}/opendmarc.dat
/usr/sbin/opendmarc-import --dbhost=${DB_SERVER} --dbuser=${DB_USER} --dbpasswd=${DB_PASS} --dbname=${DB_NAME} --verbose < ${WORK_DIR}/opendmarc_import.dat
/usr/sbin/opendmarc-reports --dbhost=${DB_SERVER} --dbuser=${DB_USER} --dbpasswd=${DB_PASS} --dbname=${DB_NAME} --verbose --interval=86400 --report-email $REPORT_EMAIL --report-org $REPORT_ORG
```
Make sure the script is executable
chmod +x /etc/opendmarc/report_script
and run it every day under the user opendmarc by adding the following to **/etc/crontab**:
1 0 * * * opendmarc /etc/opendmarc/report_script
