External authorisation could not be checked
MINORWhat it means
The authorisation lookup for example.net did not answer, so we cannot say whether your reports are being delivered there. This is usually a temporary DNS problem at example.net, not a fault in your record.
How to fix it
Re-run the checkup shortly. If it keeps failing, ask example.net whether their nameservers are healthy.
Check your own domain
This page describes the condition. To find out whether your domain has it, run the DMARC test or the full checkup, which examines every record at once.
Understand it properly
This page covers one condition. For the whole picture, The DMARC guide, from a first record to enforcement, or start at the Health Library.
Where this comes from
We judge this against RFC 9990 section 4. Every finding on this site cites the specification behind it so you can check the work rather than take our word for it.
Other DMARC conditions
DMARC_EDV_UNVERIFIED
Every fix on this site is yours to implement. If you would rather someone did it, I take this work directly.
