It helps email providers verify that messages claiming to come from your domain are genuinely from approved systems \u2013 not scammers impersonating you. When a message can&#8217;t be verified, DMARC tells the provider what to do: quarantine it, reject it, or let it through with monitoring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">This reduces phishing attacks and brand impersonation, helping your customers and partners trust your communications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Without DMARC, fraudsters can easily send emails that appear to come from your organisation \u2013 damaging your reputation, scamming your customers, and undermining trust in your legitimate communications.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"><span style=\"font-size: 26px;\">Kinetics and Sendmarc are keeping Kiwi organisations protected as DMARC evolves<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kinetics has worked with Sendmarc and are continuing our partnership to help New Zealand organisations reduce email fraud and protect their brands. Part of doing that well is staying on top of changes to industry standards.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest updates on the horizon is <span><a href=\"https:\/\/sendmarc.com\/dmarc\/dmarcbis\/\">DMARCbis<\/a><\/span>, sometimes described as \u201cDMARC 2.0.\u201d It is a refresh of the <span><a href=\"https:\/\/sendmarc.com\/dmarc\/\">DMARC standard<\/a><\/span> being developed through the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">What&#8217;s Changing: DMARCbis Explained<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">One of the most significant updates coming is <strong>DMARCbis<\/strong> \u2013 sometimes called &#8220;DMARC 2.0.&#8221; It&#8217;s a modernised version of the DMARC standard being developed through the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Think of DMARCbis as an updated, clearer rulebook<\/strong> \u2013 refined by more than a decade of real-world experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">According to <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sendmarc.com\/dmarcbis\">Sendmarc&#8217;s DMARCbis overview<\/a>, the update is designed to:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1.5 [li_&amp;]:gap-1.5 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-2 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Improve reporting<\/strong> \u2013 giving you clearer visibility into what&#8217;s happening with your email<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Clarify the rules<\/strong> \u2013 so DMARC is applied more consistently and predictably<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Better define domain boundaries<\/strong> \u2013 enhancing accuracy for complex infrastructures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">The Good News: No Need to Panic<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">DMARCbis is designed to work with what most organisations already have in place. It still uses <code class=\"bg-text-200\/5 border border-0.5 border-border-300 text-danger-000 whitespace-pre-wrap rounded-[0.4rem] px-1 py-px text-[0.9rem]\">v=DMARC1<\/code>, which means if you already have a DMARC record, you don&#8217;t need to rush into changes just because DMARCbis is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The standard is progressing through the IETF publication process, and while exact timing can vary, the direction is clear. This gives organisations time to prepare properly rather than scramble at the last minute.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">How Kinetics and Sendmarc Keep You Protected<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Kinetics and Sendmarc are continuing our partnership to help New Zealand organisations reduce email fraud and safeguard their brands.
