DMARC's RUA (Aggregate) and RUF (Forensic) reports serve distinct yet complementary roles in email security. RUA reports provide an overview of email traffic, detailing failed authentications, message headers, and policy evaluations, aiding in identifying potential threats like phishing. On the other hand, RUF reports offer deeper insights into specific unauthenticated messages, including content and encryption details, helping trace origins and analyze false positives. Together, they fortify email security by offering comprehensive visibility into a domain's email traffic patterns and potential vulnerabilities.
