The authentication and failure reports are the standout features for me. Instead of manually parsing raw DMARC aggregate XML to figure out which sending sources are passing or failing SPF/DKIM alignment, Valimail breaks everything down clearly by sender. That makes it much quicker to distinguish legitimate third-party services that need authorising from genuine spoofing attempts. The failure reports, in particular, have been valuable for catching misconfigured senders early. As a result, tightening our DMARC policy toward enforcement has felt far less risky and far less time-consuming than trying to do it all by hand.
