In this tutorial, we will show you how to setup DMARC records in cPanel. This allows you to specify how mail servers should handle messages from your domain that do not have valid SPF and DKIM records setup. Since the DMARC standard is used by many email providers (such as Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, Outlook), it can increase your chances of email being delivered successfully.
1. Login to cPanel
2. In the Domains section click Click the Advanced Zone Editor icon
3. 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=86400Reject: v=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400Quarantine: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400Alternately, 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:user@example.com; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400Reject: v=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ruf=mailto:user@example.com; ri=86400Quarantine: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; sp=none; ruf=mailto:user@example.com; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400 |
4. Click the Add Record button to save your record.
You will then see your record listed on the Zone File Records section.
