June 2021 Summaries

Sandbox Mode has been introduced in Postmark, allowing users to test and experiment with the service without risking accidental sends to real customers or damaging sender reputations. Sandbox Servers are a safe testing environment for emails, delivering all test messages to a black hole and not sending actual email to recipients. Users can set up a new testing environment by selecting the "Sandbox" option when creating a new Server. This feature also includes bounce testing, allowing users to generate fake bounces and test Postmark's handling of different types of bounces. The team is open to feedback and considering additional testing features, including ways to test events like opens, clicks, or unsubscribes.

DMARC monitoring tools are essential for detecting and preventing email spoofing, but implementing them can be a complex task. The best tool for an organization depends on its experience level with DMARC, the required features, and budget. Popular options include Dmarcian, DMARC Digests, ONDMARC, DMARCLY, EasyDMARC, and DMARC Analyzer (Mimecast), each offering unique features and pricing models to suit different needs. When choosing a tool, consider factors such as complexity level, user limits, domain monitoring, email volume, forensic reporting, API access, professional services, and pricing. A self-serve product or professional services may be preferred depending on the organization's requirements.
