Our monitoring platform: URIports

We use URIports first for DMARC reporting. Every day, mail providers such as Gmail and Microsoft send reports about the email that uses your domain. URIports collects them and shows, on one dashboard, which of your services pass, which fail, and who else is sending in your name.

It also watches the rest of your setup, on its own, and sends a notification when something is wrong:

• Your DNS records: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, MTA-STS, DANE, TLS-RPT and BIMI. A mistake, or a change nobody told us about (a new web developer, a new provider, a typo), is flagged with what changed.
• Your certificates: web and mail. You are warned before one expires, and told when a new one is issued for your domain.
• Unusual activity: a sudden jump in email sent in your name, or in failed messages, which can mean someone is impersonating you.

You don't have to watch it

You get your own URIports dashboard, but you don't need to open it. Notifications go to you and to us. We act on them, we look at your dashboard once a week, and we tell you in plain words if something has to change on your side.

Why URIports

Before choosing it, I tested about ten monitoring platforms. URIports is the one I kept. It has been around since 2018, it is independent, it is hosted in the Netherlands under GDPR, and the people behind it are seasoned DMARC specialists active in the DMARC community.

Bought directly, a comparable URIports plan costs about US$120 a month. With DMARC Guy, it is included.

Which plans include it

Small business — Fix + 1 month, Small business — Monitoring, and the medium and large organization plans. See what each plan includes.
