Resolving the Issue of Google Calendar Invites Failing DMARC Checks
by Duocircle
Sometimes, Google Calendar invites don’t pass DMARC authentication checks because when the recipient replies to the invitation, the response is sent back through Google’s servers. Since the ‘From’ address and the originating servers don’t align, the Google Calendar invitation gets rejected as the sending domain’s DMARC policy instructs so.
Domain owners with multiple subdomains expose their businesses to phishing and spoofing attacks, which underscores the importance of protecting them with DMARC. Generally, domain administrators only deploy SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for the main domains, leaving unsecured subdomains to be the ideal entry points for threat actors. That’s why all your subdomains should have a quarantine or reject policy, with the percentage parameter ideally set to 100.
