Setting up DMARC Records
- Login to cPanel.
- Click the Advanced Zone Editor button in the Domains section.
- Choose your domain from the drop down box.
- You will then see an available Add a Record section. Below are the settings you should enter in the fields:
Field Setting Name _dmarc TTL 14400 Type TXT TXT Data In this field you must choose how you want recipient servers to handle email from your domain that fails SPF/DKIM validation. Options are outlined below in red:
None:v=DMARC1; p=none; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400
Reject:v=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400
Quarantine:v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400
Alternately, you can request an email report of failed DMARC validations by adding a valid email address, such as the following:
None:v=DMARC1; p=none; sp=none; ruf=mailto:usr@example.com; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400
Reject:v=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ruf=mailto:usr@example.com; ri=86400
Quarantine:v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; sp=none; ruf=mailto:usr@example.com; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400 - Click the Add Record button to save your record.
You will then see your record listed on the Zone File Records section.
Congratulations, now you know how to setup DMARC records in your cPanel for email validation. This should increase the chances of your email being delivered to many emails servers.
