RUA vs RUF

Once you’ve published DMARC records, DMARC data will typically begin to generate within a day or two in the form of reports that give you insight into the way your domains are handling email.  There are two forms of reports: RUA reports that provide a comprehensive view of all of a domain’s traffic, and RUF reports that are redacted copies of the individual emails that are not 100% compliant with DMARC.RUF data was originally intended to provide domain owners with…
