I’ve worked heavily with DMARC since 2012, directly on implementations, as a speaker and advocate fully immersed in the industry. During that time I have seen a number of different approaches to the technology, but never a platform that approached the problem in the way that I would.
So I’m building it and it’s almost ready.
The goals
Significantly Faster DMARC Deployment Projects
No long term dependence on a service (SPF Flatteners, DNS Delegation, etc)
Clear plan and process for long term maintance
You should be able to show up, get to p=reject and then close your account if you want. If you choose to hang around after p=reject, the value proposition will be clear and your costs will be reduced.
If you want to take it for a test drive during the private beta or you just want to keep track of progress as we get closer to launch, subscribe here!

Where does the name come from?
I’ve been obsessed with the SR-71 Blackbird for most of my life. I have made trips to see it in a museum, had posters in my room growing up, I’ve read stories from former pilots and strongly recommend the book Skunk Works for any other enthusiasts.
That plane is one of the most incredible innovations of our time and it’s a technological inspiration. It’s also really fast, able to maintains speeds over Mach 3.5 at an altitude of 85,000 feet.
When Top Gun: Maverick was released in theaters it included a test flight of a fictional plane (as far as we know), which is the spiritual successor of the SR-71, to maintain hypersonic speeds of Mach 10. The Lockheed Martin Skunk Works even designed it!
The name of that plane is, the Darkstar. So when it was time for a tool to deploy DMARC at hypersonic speeds, dmarcSTAR was born.
Taking flight soon. Hope to see you on board.
