How to configure dmarc?

Posted on February 2, 2017

Hi

I’m having some email delivery issues.

One of the problems I’ve discovered by using mxtoolbox is my domain is missing a dmarc record.

Can anyone explain to me or point me in the right direction as to how I should configure this?

Kind regards Stephen Meehan

Deploying DMARC can be anything from a 2 min. task, to a project taking years to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your organization.

If you can provide more detail, more specific advice can be given.

Take a look at this comprehensive guide to implementing DMARC/DKIM/SPF: How to implement DMARC/DKIM/SPF to stop email spoofing and phishing.

It provides step-by-step instructions and explains how DMARC, DKIM, and SPF work to achieve effective email authentication.

I followed the steps at https://dmarcguide.globalcyberalliance.org, it asks questions and gives you the value for your TXT record. When I tested it, it said it worked… so I guess it did!
