What is RUA aggregation?
DMARC aggregate (RUA) reports summarize how receivers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo…) saw mail for your domain—usually daily or weekly XML: source IP, message count, SPF/DKIM result, disposition (none/quarantine/reject). Forensic RUF is per-failure samples; many receivers no longer send them.
Reports go to rua=mailto:… in your _dmarc TXT. IPTOOL does not host that address or read the mailbox. This tool checks whether the record is published correctly, external-receiver authorization, and—if you paste it—a summary of your XML.
Examples
- Sample record
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@example.comMonitor first, then quarantine/reject.- External RUA
example.com._report._dmarc.reporter.comv=DMARC1 TXT for third-party mailboxes.
External report authorization (RFC 7489)
If rua=mailto is outside your organizational domain (e.g. dmarc@report-service.com), receivers look for v=DMARC1 at example.com._report._dmarc.report-service.com. Without it, many large receivers will not send reports.
Same-org addresses (dmarc@example.com → example.com) do not need that record. More than two or three URIs may be truncated; prefer mailto; https: RUA is rarely supported.
What does inbox readiness mean?
MXToolbox-style “inbox placement” often sends a probe message and measures the folder. IPTOOL sends no mail. This card grades the SPF + DKIM + DMARC + RUA auth stack—baseline anti-spoofing and a checklist before BIMI/enforce.
A green card is not Gmail Primary. Outbound IP PTR, DNSBL and complaint rate are separate—use Mail Score and blacklist tools. p=none only collects reports; it does not stop spoofing.
How to read XML
Download .xml from Google Postmaster / DMARC reports or a third-party export and paste it. The tool extracts report_metadata, policy_published and source_ip / count / disposition / dkim / spf from early records. Raw XML is not stored.
Use the summary to see which IPs send with your From. Unexpected IP → add to SPF/DKIM inventory or reject; then move toward p=quarantine / reject.
