DMARC Alignment Explained: Why SPF and DKIM Pass but DMARC Fails
Your email passes SPF and DKIM, so why does DMARC still fail? The answer is alignment. This is the single most misunderstood part of DMARC, and the reason legitimate mail gets rejected.
In this video:
• What "aligned" actually means (the auth domain must match your From domain)
• Why DMARC passes if EITHER SPF or DKIM is aligned, only one is needed
• Relaxed vs strict alignment
• The classic trap: an email service that passes auth for its own domain, not yours
