Having a hard time creating a DMARC record for your domain?
Our DMARC generator could end your troubles today!
By entering your domain and choosing your preferred settings, you can set up your DMARC record set up in minutes.
But first:
DMARC stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance.
It tells email servers what to do with emails that fail authentication by two other email authentication methods: SPF and DKIM.
The P (policy) settings in a DMARC record is where the magic happens. It has three main settings to choose from:
DMARC is a crucial weapon against email spoofing and other cybercrimes. It helps protect both your domain and the recipient.
This leads to a huge benefit for anybody doing email outreach:
Because of the extra security that DMARC brings, internet service providers will have more trust in your emails.
The result? Better inbox placement!
Here’s our DMARC generator:
And here’s how to use it:
Step 1: Enter your domain:
When you’ve entered your domain name, the policy settings will appear.
Step 2: Select your policy setting:
Step 3: Select your policy setting for subdomains, e.g., subdomain.yourdomain.com.
Step 4: Enter the email address you want your DMARC reports to be sent to:
Step 5: Choose how often you want to receive the DMARC reports:
Step 6: Decide on what percentage of emails the DMARC policy should be applied to.
If you set it to 90%, then 10% of emails will not be subject to the DMARC policy and associated actions.
Step 7: Click “Generate DMARC Record”
You should now have a complete DMARC record like in the image below:
Now copy and save your DMARC record because you are not done yet.
The final step to making it all work is adding the record to your domain’s DNS records.
Typically, this is done where your domain is being hosted, but sometimes, you must edit the DNS settings in your domain provider’s account.
And sometimes… they are one and the same!
Either way…
If you go to your domain’s DNS records and click on “Add new record” (or similar), you’ll see a screen that looks like the one below:
If you compare this screen to the information in our DMARC generator, you'll know exactly what information to enter here.
Important: After saving your record it can take up to three days for your record to become active. Don’t worry, typically it’ll take a few hours.
