+### OpenDMARC
+
+We can use software called OpenDMARC to enforce DMARC policies for incoming mail. OpenDMARC is another milter. Let's
+install it and enable its service:
+
+    # apk add opendmarc
+    # rc-update add opendmarc
+    # rc-service opendmarc start
+
+Edit the OpenDMARC config at `/etc/opendmarc/opendmarc.conf`.
+
+Change
+
+```conf
+AuthservID HOSTNAME
+```
+
+to
+
+```conf
+AuthservID OpenDMARC
+```
+
+This is so that the `Authentication-Results` header from OpenDKIM authentication. This will also make it clear which
+program adds which `Authentication-Results` header.
+
+Add the following line, replacing `mail.domain.com` with your *hostname* (so in [my
+instance](#a-note-on-my-dns-records), this is `master.revsuine.xyz`).
+
+```conf
+TrustedAuthservIDs mail.domain.com
+```
+
+Enable `RejectFailures`, which means your server will comply with `p=reject` in DMARC DNS records.
+
+```conf
+RejectFailures true
+```
+
+You also probably want to enable `RequiredHeaders`, which rejects emails that don't conform to RFC5322 standards, e.g.
+are missing a `From:` header.
+
+```conf
+RequiredHeaders true
+```
+
+In case external SPF validation fails (as in, no SPF results are placed in the message header), you probably want to
+add
+
+```conf
+SPFSelfValidate true
+```
+
+which tells OpenDMARC to perform the SPF check itself if it can't find SPF results in the message header.
+
+Now provide OpenDMARC with a socket to use for communication with sendmail. We will use a TCP socket on port 8893:
+
+```conf
+Socket inet:8893@localhost
+```
+
+For a Unix socket, you'd use the following format:
+
+```conf
+Socket local:/var/run/opendmarc/opendmarc.sock
+```
+
+By default, you will have the line
+
+```conf
+IgnoreHosts /etc/opendmarc/ignore.hosts
+```
+
+in `/etc/opendmarc/opendmarc.conf`. This tells OpenDMARC to not authenticate the list of hosts in
+`/etc/opendmarc/ignore.hosts`. An example `ignore.hosts` is
+
+    127.0.0.1
+    93.113.25.226
+
+Keep in mind that if you have specified `IgnoreHosts`, this file needs to exist in order for OpenDMARC to run. If you
+have the option set, make sure to `touch /etc/opendmarc/ignore.hosts` (or whatever filepath you've specified).
+Alternatively, comment out this option in order to use the default, which is to not authenticate mail coming from
+127.0.0.1.
+
+Restart OpenDMARC for these changes to take effect:
+
+    # rc-service opendmarc restart
+
+To have Postfix use the OpenDMARC milter, it's simple as adding the socket to the `smptd_milters` and
+`non_smtpd_milters` variable in `/etc/postfix/main.cf`:
+
+```conf
+milter_default_action = accept
+milter_protocol = 6
+smtpd_milters = inet:127.0.0.1:8891,inet:127.0.0.1:8893
+non_smtpd_milters = $smtpd_milters
+```
+
+Restart Postfix for the changes to take effect:
+
+    # rc-service postfix restart
+
+And when you receive emails from a legitimate source that implements DMARC, you should see the following headers in
+your emails:
+
+```
+Received-SPF: pass (protonmail.com: Sender is authorized to use 'revsuine@protonmail.com' in 'mfrom' identity (mechanism 'include:_spf.protonmail.ch' matched)) receiver=master.revsuine.xyz; identity=mailfrom; envelope-from="revsuine@protonmail.com"; helo=mail-40130.protonmail.ch; client-ip=185.70.40.130
+DMARC-Filter: OpenDMARC Filter v1.4.2 master.revsuine.xyz 88CFF1288D1
+Authentication-Results: OpenDMARC; dmarc=pass (p=quarantine dis=none) header.from=protonmail.com
+Authentication-Results: OpenDMARC; spf=pass smtp.mailfrom=protonmail.com
+Authentication-Results: master.revsuine.xyz;
+        dkim=pass (2048-bit key; secure) header.d=protonmail.com header.i=@protonmail.com header.a=rsa-sha256 header.s=protonmail3 header.b=nc4YWVM/
+```
+
