  • Configuring Your Email DMARC Record for email deliverability and reducing spam

    A DMARC record is important so the emails you send are more likely to get delivered. It also helps reduce spam where your domain name is forged into the emails being sent.

    DMARC – this is a TXT record that practically tells the receiver to send an email to a particular e-mail address, if he gets spam mails from a certain domain. The record is added from cPanel -> Advanced DNS Zone Editor, and should look like this:

    _dmarc.domain.TLD IN TXT 14400 "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:postmaster@your_domain.com"

    where you need to change domain.TLD and postmaster@your_domain.com to the proper ones according to your case.

    DMARC is one setting that other sites use to assess the credibility of your site’s emails. If you have DMARC records, your emails are more likely to be delivered, instead of refused or silently discarded. Spammers will forge your domain name into the emails they send, pretending to be you. DMARC records are one of the ways sites determine whether the email being sent to one of their people is legitimate.
