DMARC<\/b> stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance<\/b>. <\/p>

\n<\/p>

It’s a DNS record<\/a><\/b> (of TXT <\/b>type) that helps protect email domains from phishing<\/b> and spoofing attacks<\/b>. DMARC records enhance email security by enabling domain owners to specify email authentication policies and receive reports on email traffic using their domain, ultimately reducing the risk of email-based fraud and improving overall email trustworthiness.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

It’s only two steps to create a DMARC record<\/b>:<\/p>

    \n
  1. \n

    Refer to DMARC Record Generator<\/a><\/b> or DMARC Record Wizard<\/a><\/b> to generate values<\/b> for your DMARC record<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Once you have it, access your domain’s DNS zone<\/b> and create a new TXT<\/a><\/b> record using the generated values and following this format: <\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    \n\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Type<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    Name<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    Value<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    TTL<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n

    TXT<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    _dmarc<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    paste the value generated by the tool<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    default (14400)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>

    After adding the new record to your domain’s DNS zone, give it some time to propagate<\/a><\/b> worldwide. <\/p>

    \n

    Besides the DMARC <\/b>record, make sure to set up SPF<\/a><\/b> and DKIM<\/a><\/b> records, too 💡 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
