There must be some ulterior motive behind why someone would want to entice people into routing their DMARC reports through a filtering service with promises of filtering into &quot;beautiful, human-readable weekly email digests&quot;.<p>DMARC reports generated in response to spam go to the domain owner&#x27;s reporting address, leaving the spammer in the dark as to what rules are being applied. It&#x27;s not hard to imagine that access to these reports could be somehow useful to spammers.<p>Also note how the reports are turned into <i>weekly</i> digests; this means that reports generated by illegitimate e-mails which spoof your domain won&#x27;t be seen by your eyes for as long as seven days, concealing days of malicious activity.<p>I think I will take my DMARC reports unfiltered, thanks.
