Once I've configured everything, how do I move to DMARC enforcement with OnDMARC?

Moving to DMARC enforcement with OnDMARC involves transitioning your domain's policy from a monitoring-only state to one that actively instructs receiving mail servers on how to handle unauthenticated emails.

After configuring all your legitimate email sources and ensuring they pass SPF and DKIM authentication, OnDMARC will guide you to transition from reporting mode (p=none) to full DMARC enforcement (p=quarantine or p=reject). This effectively blocks all exact email impersonation attempts.

Gradual Enforcement: It's strongly recommended to implement DMARC enforcement policies in a phased approach, starting with p=none, then moving to p=quarantine, and finally to p=reject. This gradual rollout allows organizations to demonstrate to mailbox providers that their domain is trustworthy, which can also positively impact overall email deliverability.

This systematic approach allows organizations to reach full DMARC enforcement, blocking exact email impersonation attacks and boosting email deliverability, typically in an average of 6-8 weeks.
