Holy smokes, this one’s a tough one to crack.

Or at least that’s what I thought when I first dug into DMARC.

That’s why I went over to Wojtek, our Head of Deliverability here at Woodpecker, and asked him to explain it to me plain and simple. He helped me to understand what DMARC is exactly and why it matters.

I’ve come up with a story that’s perhaps a bit unusual when it comes to the world of email security, but I believe it might help you understand what DMARC is and how it works – even if you know squat about email authentication mechanisms.

This one’s for all of those folks who, like me, scratch their heads when they stumble upon technical matters.

Ladies and gentlemen, put your learning goggles on.
