Required DMARC record if you are using Cartloom with Apple Business Mail

Hey all,

If you are hosting an eCommerce site with Cartloom and using Apple Business Mail as your email provider, I thought I’d share an interesting find me and @handshaper discovered yesterday. :slightly_smiling_face:

In order for your Cartloom invoices to be able to be emailed out, your DMARC DNS record should use the p=quarantine flag, for example:

v=DMARC1;p=quarantine;pct=100; - :white_check_mark:

If you use the p=reject flag, Cartloom cannot email out any invoices. For example:

v=DMARC1;p=reject;pct=100; - :cross_mark:

Apple Business Mail is really strict on the DMARC record they require, so you have to get it the way they like it to verify your domain/email with them..

Anyway this is definitely an edge-case that won’t affect many people, but just thought I would post it here in case anybody ever runs into this issue in the future. :blush:
