This article contains information on publishing a DMARC record, including step-by-step instructions for adding or editing the record in your DNS, field configurations, and expected DNS propagation time for email authentication.
DMARC Analyzer will aid you to generate your own custom DMARC record. A DMARC record needs to be published into your DNS by your DNS provider. This can be an internal role in your organization, you can have access to a dashboard provided by your DNS provider, or you can ask your DNS provider to publish the record.
After generating your DMARC record, you should follow these simple steps to publish your DMARC record into your DNS:
- Log in to the Control Panel of your DNS vendor.
- Locate the section where you can manage DNS records for your domains.
- Locate the option to Add a record and select TXT as your record type, alternatively if you already have a DMARC TXT record in place for the domain, you may edit the current record you have.
- After you’ve selected a domain, you should have been taken to the DNS Editor of your DNS vendor.
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.
- Complete the necessary fields as below (Depending DNS provider requirements):
-
- Name: Enter ‘_dmarc’ as Name (The TXT record name should be “_dmarc.yourdomain.com.” where “yourdomain.com” is replaced with your actual domain name or subdomain.)
- Type: Select TXT as Type.
- Content: Enter your custom DMARC Analyzer TXT record in the Content section (your custom DMARC record as generated by our DMARC record generator).
- TTL: Enter the desired TTL value into the TTL field
- To publish your DNS record, click on the Add Record/Save button.
- You should now wait some time 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.
