From Zero to Full Enforcement in 6 Weeks
Industry: Web Services & Hosting • ~40 employees • Australia
A mid-sized Australian web services company with 550+ unique sending IPs achieved full DMARC enforcement — completely automated.
The Challenge
With no DMARC record, a DMARC score of zero, and over 550 unique sending IP addresses across Microsoft 365, MailChannels, and multiple outbound servers — this company had zero visibility into who was sending email on their behalf.
The Journey
DMARC Busta's Autopilot system moved the domain through 10 documented policy steps — from no DMARC record to full p=reject enforcement. The system progressed gradually through quarantine, then incrementally increased reject percentages (10% → 25% → 50% → 75% → 100%) before settling at full enforcement.
Over 7 months, compliance improved from 94.7% to 98.2% — all at full p=reject, with zero manual DNS edits.
Key takeaway: Even domains with complex email ecosystems (550+ sending IPs) can achieve full DMARC enforcement through automated, intelligent progression — without a single manual DNS edit.
Small Business, Big Protection
Industry: Trades & Services • Small team • Australia
A small Australian trades business went from no enforcement to full p=reject in under a month — with just 4 automated steps.
The Journey
With a simple email setup (one primary sending service via MailChannels), this was a textbook "set it and forget it" deployment. DMARC Busta's Autopilot moved from p=none to p=reject in just 4 progression steps over 3 weeks:
The domain has maintained near-perfect compliance at full enforcement ever since, with zero manual intervention required.
Key takeaway: For businesses with straightforward email setups, DMARC Busta can achieve full enforcement in under a month — completely hands-free.
Safety Nets in Action
Industry: Education & Training • Small team • Australia
When a compliance drop appeared in the reports, the policy was rolled back to quarantine and email delivery was protected — proving that security and reliability aren't mutually exclusive.
The Challenge
This education organisation uses Google Workspace, a local Australian email provider, and multiple mail exchange servers. They needed DMARC enforcement but couldn't risk disrupting email delivery to students, partners, and stakeholders.
The Path Back
This case study demonstrates exactly why a fast path back matters:
- Autopilot progressed to p=reject after confirming 98.2% compliance
- A compliance drop showed up in the reports — pass rate fell from 99.7% to 71.4%
- On their managed plan, we rolled the policy back to quarantine within hours
- Email delivery was protected while the underlying issue was investigated
The domain currently maintains 97.1% compliance at quarantine with continued monitoring, ready to progress again once sources are fully aligned.
Key takeaway: A one-click path back means you never have to choose between security and email deliverability. Every change is logged with before/after values, so reverting to last-known-good is immediate — and on managed plans, we do it for you.
