Failure report address is not a valid email address

ATTENTION

DMARC · Needs attention · costs 15 points · RFC 9991 section 2

What it means

the offending value cannot receive mail as written, so failure reports are dropped.

How to fix it

Correct the address in the ruf tag, or remove the tag.

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 9991 section 2. Every finding on this site cites the specification behind it so you can check the work rather than take our word for it.

Every fix on this site is yours to implement. If you would rather someone did it, I take this work directly.
