DMARC Monitoring for Internal Developer Tooling Alerts
Your internal developer tools generate crucial alerts for system health and incidents. You need to ensure these notifications reliably reach your development and operations teams without being blocked or delayed.
The problem
Critical alerts from internal developer tools like PagerDuty, Sentry, or Jira are essential for maintaining system health and responding to incidents. When these notifications are sent via email, they often use internal SMTP relays or third-party services configured under your company's domain. If DMARC, SPF, or DKIM are misconfigured, these vital alerts can be delayed or quarantined by internal mail systems, leading to missed incidents, slower response times, and increased downtime for critical services.
It's challenging to get clear visibility into the deliverability of internal-facing emails, especially when using a mix of on-premise and cloud-based tools. Manually troubleshooting why a Sentry error alert isn't reaching the engineering team involves deep dives into mail server logs and DMARC XML reports, a task that distracts developers from their primary responsibilities. This lack of a consolidated, actionable view of DMARC performance makes it impossible to proactively address deliverability before it impacts incident response.
How Aligned solves it
Concrete example
{
"domain": "alerts.your-company.com",
"source": "sentry.io",
"dmarc_aligned": true,
"spf_aligned": true,
"dkim_aligned": true,
"alert_type": "error_notification",
"policy_effect": "none"
}
