Setup DMARC

Introduction to DMARC

DMARC, which stands for “Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance”, is an email authentication, policy, and reporting protocol. It builds on the widely deployed SPF and DKIM protocols, adding linkage to the author (“From:”) domain name, published policies for recipient handling of authentication failures, and reporting from receivers to senders, to improve and monitor protection of the domain from fraudulent email. Source: https://dmarc.org/.

DMARC - Procedure to follow

Due to recent changes to email handling by Google and Yahoo for anyone sending more than 5,000 emails daily, you should ensure that you have a DMARC record in your DNS settings.

If you don't know anything about DMARC, then we recommend you add the following DNS record:

Please check afterwards with https://mxtoolbox.com/dmarc.aspx: it shouldn't include any errors (i.e. anything flagged with Status ProblemImage Added). Please also read https://support.google.com/a/answer/10032473 to progressively improve your DMARC record.
