DMARC Analyzer - DirectAdmin DMARC Setup

This article contains information on deploying DMARC Analyzer, including steps to identify domains, add them to the dashboard, generate and publish DMARC records, and analyze DMARC data for email authentication and security. DMARC Analyzer will aid you in generating your own custom DMARC record.

After generating your DMARC record you should follow these simple steps to publish your DMARC record into your DirectAdmin DNS:

1. Log in to your DirectAdmin account.
2. Navigate to DNS Management in order to enter the DNS editor.
3. Click on the Add Record button to create the DMARC TXT record.

If you already see a record with the name "_dmarc", edit this record instead of creating a new record. This is important because you can't have multiple DMARC records.

4. Complete the fields as below: 

• Record Type: select TXT as Type
• Name: Enter ‘_dmarc’ as Name (the TXT record name should be “_dmarc.yourdomain.com”)
• TTL: Enter the desired TTL value
• Value: Enter your custom DMARC Analyzer TXT record in the Value section (your custom DMARC record as generated by our DMARC record generator).

5. To publish your DNS record, click on the Save button.
6. You should now wait sometime before the first reports will start to arrive in DMARC Analyzer. This is due to DNS caching and the fact that the ISPs mostly send one report each day. This can take up to 72 hours.
