A validated DMARC enforcement record, capped at `p=quarantine` and returned only when the server-derived alignment gate passes; without that evidence the answer is reporting-first and no record is returned. `p=reject` comes from the readiness engine's aggregate-report evidence, never from a scan.
count_spf_lookups
The SPF DNS-lookup count against the RFC limit of 10.
validate_dmarc_record
Parse and validate a DMARC record, tag by tag.
generate_dmarc_record
Build a DMARC record from a policy + reporting address.
check_dkim_selector
Look up one DKIM selector and check the key.
parse_dmarc_report
Parse an aggregate (RUA) report file into rows.
check_record
Read any DNS record type for a name.
check_propagation
Whether a DNS change has gone global: six vantage points (five owner-run probes plus the server's own resolver) read the same name, returning the grid plus a deterministic verdict. Observation only — an unavailable cell is a vantage point we could not read, never a missing record, and under three r…
lookup_registration
Registrar, dates, EPP status codes, nameservers, DNSSEC and abuse contact from one RDAP read. Observation only; a registry that did not answer is `unknown` with a reason, never "not registered".
