Strengthen the DMARC policy

Quarantines 25% of mail that fails DMARC, a safe first step: check the reports for legitimate senders that fail before going further.

TypeTXT
Name / Host
_dmarc.openstreetmap.org

Some DNS providers want just “_dmarc” here.

Value
v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; pct=25; rua=mailto:openstreetmap-d@dmarc.report-uri.com; adkim=r; aspf=r
Replaces
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:openstreetmap-d@dmarc.report-uri.com

How to apply it

  1. Sign in where your domain’s DNS is managed. This is often where you bought the domain, such as Cloudflare, GoDaddy or Namecheap.
  2. Find the existing TXT record with that name and replace its value.
  3. Save, then come back and re-check. DNS changes can take up to a few hours to show.

All checks

MXCan servers find your inbox?Only one MX hostInfo
  • Info: Only one MX host

    All mail for openstreetmap.org goes to a.mx.openstreetmap.org. Most hosted providers make that one name highly available; if you run your own server, consider a backup MX.

SPFWho may send as you?No issues foundPass

Nothing to report.

DKIMAre your emails signed?No DKIM key found for the common selectorsNeeds attention
  • Warning: No DKIM key found for the common selectors

    None of the 47 selectors probed under openstreetmap.org publish a DKIM key. DNS cannot list selectors, so a key under a custom selector may exist: find the s= value in the DKIM-Signature header of a message you sent and check that selector. If DKIM is not set up, enable it at each service that sends mail for openstreetmap.org.

DMARCWhat happens to fakes?DMARC policy is noneNeeds attention
  • Warning: DMARC policy is none

    A none policy only monitors: mail that fails DMARC is still delivered, so anyone can spoof the domain. Once reports show your legitimate senders pass, move to quarantine and then reject.

  • Info: No BIMI record

    No BIMI record at default._bimi.openstreetmap.org. BIMI is optional: it shows your logo next to your mail in supporting inboxes once DMARC is enforced.

Other fixes

Prepare BIMIinstruction

BIMI shows your logo next to messages in supporting inboxes, but only for mail that passes DMARC under an enforced policy.

Applies to: default._bimi.openstreetmap.org

  1. Enforce DMARC first: p=quarantine or p=reject at 100% (no pct below 100). 2. Convert your logo to an SVG Tiny PS file and host it over HTTPS, for example https://openstreetmap.org/bimi/logo.svg. 3. For Gmail and Apple Mail, obtain a VMC or CMC certificate for the logo. 4. Publish a TXT record at default._bimi.openstreetmap.org with v=BIMI1, l= set to the logo URL and a= set to the certificate URL.
