Verification Checklist (RFC 7489)
Query DNS TXT record at _dmarc.yourcompany.com.
Ensure valid "p=" policy exists (transition from p=none to p=quarantine to p=reject).
Verify "rua=" tag points to an authenticated inbox or monitoring service.
Check alignment modes (aspf and adkim default to relaxed "r").
