Google has very recently added new diagnostic details to its DMARC aggregate reports, and they're a big help for troubleshooting. Instead of digging through scattered email logs across your various email sending platforms and marketing clouds, you can now see specific compliance and authentication-related SMTP error codes right in the DMARC XML reporting! That means when your mail fails Google's sender requirements, you'll know if it was SPF, DKIM, alignment, TLS, PTR/DNS, or even RFC compliance issues that tripped you up.
For a sender compliance-focused email admin, this is gold. Those same error messages you'd normally only spot in NDRs or server logs are now surfaced in one centralized place. It can make solving email auth and infra problems a lot faster and a lot less painful.
This new data lives in a comment field nestled within the policy_evaluated tag in the aggregate report XML data, but if that's all too much geeky technospeak for you, never fear: Valimail's now extracting and making the data available for all users via a new "Sender Requirements Failure Report" in the Valimail platform, for both users of Enforce and Monitor.

And if you'd rather watch/hear me explain it, here's a three-and-a-half minute video of me doing just that. Enjoy!
