Understanding DMARC Tracking in Warmy

What is DMARC Tracking? While Warmy perfectly optimizes your warmup emails, your domain likely sends other traffic every day—such as regular business emails, sales outreach, or marketing campaigns.

The DMARC Tracking feature is designed to give you full visibility into your domain’s overall email authentication health. By parsing DMARC aggregate reports from major inbox providers like Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft, Warmy visualizes your data into clean, actionable dashboards so you can easily spot delivery issues and configuration errors.

What Data is Processed? Your privacy is our top priority. The DMARC Tracking tool is a strictly technical security standard. It never sees or collects private email content, subject lines, or individual recipient addresses.

Instead, it processes high-level technical metrics from aggregate XML reports sent by receiving servers to monitor:

• The total volume of emails sent from your domain across the web.
• A breakdown of servers and IP addresses utilizing your domain name.
• Success and failure rates for your SPF and DKIM alignment.
• Security actions taken by email providers (whether unauthenticated emails were delivered, quarantined, or rejected).

Key Benefits for Your Domain

• Spoofing Protection: Instantly detect if unauthorized senders or malicious entities are trying to impersonate your brand or use your domain for spam.
• Infrastructure Visibility: Ensure that all your legitimate third-party tools (like CRMs, helpdesks, or marketing platforms) are properly authenticated and not hurting your sender reputation.
• Proactive Security: Catch configuration errors early before they affect your sender reputation or inbox placement.
• Traffic Categorization: View your incoming mail flow split cleanly into Compliant, Non-compliant, Forwarded, and Threat categories.
• Volume Comparison: Easily compare your Warmy warmup traffic against your total sending volume.

How to Configure DMARC Tracking To start receiving these insights in your dashboard, you need to point your domain's DMARC report destination to Warmy. This is done via a simple update to your DNS settings.

Step 1: Locate your DMARC record Log into your domain registrar (such as Cloudflare, GoDaddy, or Namecheap) and open your DNS Management console. Find your existing TXT record for _dmarc.yourdomain.com.

Step 2: Add the Warmy reporting tag Update your record by adding the rua tag pointing to the secure email address provided in your Warmy dashboard setup. A standard configuration looks like this: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:{provided email address}@warmy.io;

Step 3: Monitor your sharing status. Go to your Domains list in Warmy. You will see a new DMARC Sharing column:

• Not Connected: The domain is not connected to the report.
• Pending: You have completed the setup, and Warmy is waiting for the settings to apply on the domain record side.
• Connected: The domain has been added, and Warmy has received its first report.

Step 4: View your data Once the status flips to Connected, open the DMARC Tracking tab under your domain. You can now view your General Traffic Overview, Traffic Categorization charts, and a detailed Sender IPs table surfacing any potential spoofing threats.
