The problem

Magento's robust architecture often involves custom modules, multiple subdomains for different stores or regions, and various third-party integrations for email sending (e.g., Mandrill, Mailgun). Each of these components can introduce its own set of DMARC, SPF, and DKIM configuration challenges. Debugging email deliverability issues in such a complex environment is like searching for a needle in a haystack, leading to prolonged outages for critical communications like password resets or order status updates, directly impacting customer experience and revenue.

The lack of consolidated DMARC reporting means you often react to customer complaints or monitoring alerts without understanding the root cause. Are transactional emails from your main domain failing SPF checks? Is a marketing subdomain's DKIM signature incorrect? Without a clear, parsed view of DMARC aggregate reports, identifying the specific sender, alignment failure type, and remediation steps for your Magento setup becomes an arduous manual process, consuming valuable developer time that could be spent on core platform enhancements.

How Aligned solves it

Parse raw DMARC reports into an actionable dashboard, identifying all Magento email senders.

Pinpoint specific SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment failures across subdomains and third-party services.

Provide data-driven insights to quickly resolve deliverability issues for your Magento store's emails.

Frequently asked questions

How does Aligned help with Magento's complex multi-sender environment?

Aligned consolidates DMARC reports from all email sources using your Magento domain and any subdomains. It breaks down performance by sender, allowing you to see exactly which services (e.g., Magento core, Mandrill, custom modules) are aligning correctly.

Can I use Aligned to monitor emails from specific Magento subdomains?

Yes, Aligned automatically categorizes DMARC reports by specific sending domains and subdomains. This is crucial for Magento setups where different subdomains might be used for marketing, transactional, or international stores, each with its own deliverability needs.

Is Aligned compatible with common Magento email extensions?

Aligned works by parsing DMARC aggregate reports, which are domain-level. As long as your Magento extensions send email using your domain and respect your DMARC policy, Aligned will provide visibility into their authentication performance, regardless of the specific extension.
