Email remains the most common path for phishing and domain impersonation. Yet for many organizations, the tools needed to monitor and protect email-sending domains have traditionally lived outside the DNS platform they already use.
That separation creates friction at exactly the point where visibility is most needed.
UltraDNS removes that gap.
UltraDNS now includes built-in DMARC monitoring powered by Valimail, giving customers direct visibility into the services sending email on behalf of their domains—without leaving the DNS platform they already use.
For existing UltraDNS customers, this capability is already available in the UltraDNS portal, with no separate workflows, no complex setup, and no impact to mail flow.
DMARC visibility, built directly into your DNS.
Removing the DMARC barrier to entry
DMARC gives you visibility into who is sending email on behalf of your domains—and whether those senders are properly authenticated.
In practice, getting that visibility has been harder than it should be. DMARC monitoring typically requires separate tools to ingest and parse aggregate reports, additional accounts to manage them, and manual coordination with DNS to validate and tune policies.
As a result, many organizations either remain at a basic p=none policy or lack the time and context to actively review their DMARC data.
The outcome is predictable: unknown senders go unnoticed, legitimate services remain misconfigured, and security teams are left without a reliable view of their email ecosystem.
Start with visibility without risk
DMARC monitoring is the safest place to begin. It allows you to identify legitimate senders, uncover authentication gaps, and detect unauthorized activity—without affecting mail flow.
Because monitoring mode does not block or filter messages, you can build an accurate picture of your email ecosystem before deciding whether to move to stricter DMARC policies.
What Valimail Monitor delivers
Complete sender discovery
Identify known sending services without manually analyzing raw IP data.
Authentication visibility in real time
See which domains pass or fail DMARC, SPF, and DKIM—and where risk exists.
Mailbox provider readiness
Validate alignment with Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo authentication requirements.
Suspicious infrastructure detection
Surface unknown IPs, unsecured servers, and anomalous senders attempting to use your domain.
UltraDNS handles the DNS work
When Valimail Monitor is enabled, UltraDNS automatically applies to the DNS changes required for monitoring.
- If no DMARC record exists, UltraDNS creates one in monitoring mode (p=none)
- If a record already exists, UltraDNS adds Valimail reporting without modifying your policy
Monitoring is enabled safely, without disrupting mail flow or existing configurations.
From one domain to full portfolio coverage
You can enable monitoring for a single domain, a selected group of domains, or your entire portfolio.
For organizations managing large domain environments, this makes it possible to move from little or no DMARC visibility to broad coverage in minutes.
See exactly what’s sending as your domain
DMARC aggregate reports are automatically ingested and translated into actionable insight within the Valimail dashboard.
You can quickly identify:
- All services are sent on behalf of your domains
- Which senders are properly authenticated
- Which senders are failing authentication
- Potential unauthorized or suspicious sources
This gives teams the foundation they need to confidently move toward stricter DMARC enforcement.
Here’s what that visibility looks like in practice:

Part of DigiCert’s integrated platform
This integration brings UltraDNS and Valimail together as part of DigiCert’s broader DNS and email security platform.
By connecting DNS management with email authentication monitoring, DigiCert reduces the need for separate tools and workflows—making domain protection easier to operationalize.
For organizations ready to go further, Valimail provides a path from monitoring to enforcement. Once legitimate senders are identified and properly authenticated, teams can move toward stronger DMARC policies with greater confidence.
