Generate the right DMARC record for your domain

A DMARC record is one line of DNS, but a wrong tag can send your own email to spam or leave the record ignored entirely. Tell us who sends your email and we'll build the correct starting record, with every tag explained.

1. Who sends email as your domain?

Select everything: marketing tools and billing systems count.

2. How strict should the policy be?

3. Where should reports go?

Optional but strongly recommended. Without it you're flying blind.

Raw reports are XML files. Most people never read them. DMARCPath gives you a monitoring address that turns them into a dashboard instead.

Your DMARC record

Host _dmarc.yourdomain.comType TXT
v=DMARC1; p=none; fo=1
v=DMARC1

Identifies this TXT record as a DMARC policy. Always first, always exactly this.

p=none

Your policy: monitor only. Mail that fails authentication is still delivered, but you get reports about it.

fo=1

Asks reporters to generate a failure report if either SPF or DKIM fails, not only when both do (more diagnostic signal).

Frequently asked questions

Where do I put my DMARC record?
Create a TXT record at the host _dmarc (so _dmarc.yourdomain.com) in your DNS provider: GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap, Route 53, wherever your domain's DNS lives. The value is the v=DMARC1 string this generator produces.
Should I start with p=none or p=quarantine?
Start with p=none. It changes nothing about mail delivery but starts generating reports that reveal every service sending as your domain. Jumping straight to quarantine or reject before you know your senders is how legitimate invoices and newsletters end up in spam.
Does my choice of email providers change the DMARC record?
No, the DMARC record itself is the same. But each provider needs its own SPF include and DKIM keys set up for your mail to pass DMARC, which is why this wizard asks: it tells you what to double-check per provider.
How long until DMARC takes effect?
The DNS record is usually visible within minutes to an hour. Mailbox providers pick it up on their next evaluation, and the first aggregate reports typically arrive within 24-48 hours.
