usergrowthQ: What are parked domains?
I see that value in the feature table, but there is no clarification what it means.

Edited Jul 9, 2025A: Parked Domains” refer to domains that are not actively sending email but are still protected by a DMARC policy—often a strict one like p=reject. These domains are monitored to prevent unauthorized use (such as spoofing), even though they don’t generate legitimate outbound traffic. In dmarcreport.com, we include these domains in your reports so you can maintain visibility and control over your entire domain portfolio.

I found a couple of comments from Brad regarding parked domains:
"parked domain is the tracking of a domain that is not supposed to be sending any emails, but you still want to watch it from a cyber security perspective to see if or when somebody’s trying to use it to impersonate another domain or if it is currently being used to send spam"
(Will put next comment in another message)

we have lots of customers that have large domain portfolios. Think of folks that own the .com, .org, .net, .* of their domain names. They dont email on them but they do want to KNOW if someone is trying to email on them. We have alerts that can be triggered if one of these parked domains gets any emails - it can help spot a squatter or even a misconfigured...

Yep - domains you own but are not sending ANY email from, nor are you expecting any 3rd party to be sending on your behalf can be parked and monitored - so you can be alerted if something does change.
