   One of the clients that I work with uses MailChimp. Got their domain validated with DNS records and after they were pitched on the ValiMail dmarc service.
   
   I wasn't familiar with it before.
   
   Anyone has experience with this kind of service?
   
   Looks like you can use it to monitor what emails are sent using your domain. Not sure that is needed.
   
   On their webpage it says that they partner with Microsoft and Google. That makes me trust them less, not more.
   
   Are alternatives like PowerDmarc worth checking out? They tout "ai" as a part of their technology, which also does not inspire trust.

     I honestly don't know, but it sounds more like MailChimp is trying to pawn off the fact that they stop paying Google's extortion fee to guarantee the delivery of mail from their service. Now, everything is just going straight to spam.

     Proper DMARC rules sort of handle that. You can't help it if Google and Microsoft won't follow your validation rules.

     That's what I thought. I'm trying to figure out if the extra things offered by these type of services are even worth looking into.
