The DMARC industry is nuts. Most services charge a lot for what amounts to retrieving emails and doing a little XML parsing. It’s mostly transient data too, so it’s not like paying for a ton of redundancy is worth it.

IMHO, they’ve taken something that should be simple and turned it into a complex system that needs a ton of infrastructure because they all want a SaaS business. Everyone pays for the cost of scaling when simple sharding would do for most users.

I’d love to have a simple, self hosted DMARC analyzer running on something like PocketBase.
