Ask HN: Small newsletter creators, how do you handle DMARC?

Hi HN!

I recently set up DMARC for my domain as recommended by the platform I use for sending out e-mails, and now I receive ~40 e-mails a week with DMARC reports. How do you handle that? Do you have some automated way of parsing these? Are there any tools with protection against zip bombs, since it seems like a trivial attack vector for anyone receiving these reports?

    I set up mail rules, or filters, that look for the content that appears in the subject line of the DMARC emails, and I just auto delete them using the rules. I use Thunderbird on Windows so you’d have to figure it out for your own mail client.

    I have just outsourced the problem and paid a platform (ghost.io, mainly because it allows for custom domains on the most basic plan.)
