Hey all,

If you are hosting an eCommerce site with Cartloom and using [Apple Business Mail](https://business.apple.com/) as your email provider, I thought I’d share an interesting find me and @handshaper discovered yesterday. 🙂

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;` - ✅

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

`v=DMARC1;p=reject;pct=100;` - ❌

Apple Business Mail is [really strict on the DMARC record they require](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/business/abcb22cbade5/web), 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. 😊
