RUA and RUF reports
The aggregate and forensic report addresses in a DMARC record.
RUA points mailbox providers to the address that should receive aggregate DMARC XML reports. RUF points to forensic failure reports, which many mailbox providers limit or do not send because they can expose message details. Most teams start with RUA reporting and use a DMARC monitor to parse it.

An agent stack treats email as a two-way primitive. Inbound has to arrive as structured JSON a tool call can consume, sends have to be safe to retry when a model loop repeats itself, and every action needs an audit trail. A provider without inbound parsing only solves half the problem.
Applied to rua and ruf reports, that means weighing inbound parsing, idempotency keys, webhook coverage, and operating track record ahead of the rest, against inbound parsing into tool calls and model-generated sends that must not duplicate.
