## Imported Code Object
19+
Certainly! Here's a concise explanation of the DMARC record in the given code snippet:
20+
21+
This is a DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) record. It specifies how email receivers should handle messages that fail authentication checks. The record contains three parts:
22+
23+
1. `v=DMARC1`: Version of DMARC being used (currently version 1).
24+
25+
2. `p=none`: Policy for handling failed messages. "none" means no action is taken, but reports are still generated.
26+
27+
3. `rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@{{our domain}}`: Specifies the email address where aggregate reports should be sent.
28+
29+
This DMARC record is set up for monitoring purposes, collecting data on email authentication without enforcing any actions on failed messages.
