Feature spotlight: DMARC Agent

Palisade is AI-first DMARC software for IT teams and MSPs, from one domain to thousands. Its DMARC Agent investigates sending sources, works through SPF and DKIM alignment, and moves domains toward p=reject while operators stay in control.

At a glance

Quick takeaways

• The agent turns DMARC reports into work it can carry forward.
• It identifies sending sources and checks SPF and DKIM alignment.
• Operators can review ambiguous sources and policy decisions.
• MSPs can use the same workflow across a client portfolio.
• Palisade is a fit for teams that want the software to do more than organize reports.

From reporting to enforcement

Traditional DMARC dashboards organize aggregate reports and show where authentication fails. The operator still has to identify the sender, decide what should be authorized, work through DNS changes, and return later to verify the result.

DMARC Agent treats those findings as an operating queue. It investigates the source, connects the finding to SPF or DKIM work, and keeps the domain moving toward enforcement.

A reporting dashboard presents findings. DMARC Agent carries the related work forward.

What DMARC Agent does

Investigates sending sources

The agent uses DMARC data to identify the services sending mail for a domain. When a source is ambiguous, the operator can review it instead of accepting a guess as fact.

Works through SPF and DKIM alignment

Each source needs an authentication path that aligns with the visible From domain. Palisade connects the source to the relevant SPF or DKIM work and checks the result after the record changes.

Moves policy toward p=reject

The agent keeps routine enforcement work moving. Operators remain involved when a sender, policy, or DNS change needs approval.

Built for portfolios

The difference becomes more important at 10 domains than at one. MSPs can group client domains, connect supported PSA systems, and let the agent work across the portfolio without turning every report into a technician task.

Teams that already use Claude, OpenAI, or other AI tools will recognize the operating model. People set the objective and keep control of consequential decisions. The agent carries the repetitive work between those decisions.

See it in action

• Open Palisade and select Domains.
• Add domains directly or sync supported client records.
• Point DMARC aggregate reporting to Palisade.
• Review the sources and tasks created after reports arrive.

DMARC Agent begins investigating sources after it receives DMARC reports.
