DMARC record missing – how to fix

Your domain has no DMARC record. Inbox providers expect DMARC for trust and enforcement. Here's how to add one.

Why it matters

DMARC tells receivers what to do when SPF or DKIM fail or don't align with the From domain. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC (at least p=none) for bulk senders. Without it, you have no policy and no reporting.

How to fix it

Create a TXT record at _dmarc.<your-domain> (e.g. _dmarc.example.com).

Start with p=none and add rua=mailto: so you receive aggregate reports without affecting delivery.

Example: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@example.com; fo=1;

After monitoring, you can move to p=quarantine or p=reject when ready.
