DMARC Don't Lie

Name: DMARC Don't Lie
Description: A weary sender's blues confession that reads SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment like a lover's lie detector — exposing misaligned From domains, p=none policies hiding from enforcement, and duplicate DMARC records left to rot in the zone. Soulful and grounded, it argues that authentication tells the truth your headers won't.

A weary sender's blues confession that reads SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment like a lover's lie detector — exposing misaligned From domains, p=none policies hiding from enforcement, and duplicate DMARC records left to rot in the zone. Soulful and grounded, it argues that authentication tells the truth your headers won't.

Verse

I read your headers like a confession note,

From-Address talkin’ loud, but it don’t match the coat,

You say it’s signed, you say it’s legit,

But alignment’s off, and the math won’t fit.

Verse

Got SPF pointin’ one way, DKIM driftin’ another,

From domain wearin’ a name that don’t match its brother,

You tell me “trust me,” yeah, I heard that before,

Policy says none, so I’m watchin’ the door.

Chorus

DMARC don’t lie, it just tells the truth,

Shows your intent, cuts straight to the root,

From P none whispers to P reject cry,

You can plead your case, but DMARC don’t lie.

Verse

Saw three DMARC records fightin’ in the zone,

No reports comin’ in, you’re flyin’ blind alone,

Playing with percentages, up to your old tricks,

But enforcement ain’t a slider you can safely mix.

Verse

R.U.A. keep talkin’, tellin’ you the score,

R.U.F. used to shout, now it don’t no more,

Strict or relaxed, you gotta choose your lane,

But alignment’s the law in this filtering game.

Chorus

DMARC don’t lie, it just tells the truth,

Shows your intent, cuts straight to the root,

You can stall, you can try, you can testify,

But receivers read policy—DMARC don’t lie.

Bridge

You don’t jump to reject on a shaky start,

You earn that badge with a disciplined heart,

Fix your From, line up SPF and DKIM,

Watch the reports till the noise grows slim.

Verse

Subdomain cryin’, you forgot that “sp,”

One brand’s clean, but the rest run free,

Then you wonder why the whole thing sinks,

When abuse finds gaps faster than you think.

Chorus

DMARC don’t lie, it remembers your past,

Every misaligned note, every test you rushed fast,

Transparency sings louder than alibis,

Say what you mean with policy—DMARC don’t lie.

Outro

So when you’re ready to stand by your name,

Move that policy slow, but mean it the same,

Inbox doors open when the signals comply,

No excuses left… ’cause DMARC don’t lie.
