General DNS Setup Guide
No matter which registrar you use (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap, AWS Route53), the process for adding DMARC records is similar.
Record Details
You will need to add a TXT Record with the following values:
| Type | Host / Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | _dmarc | v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=... |
Common Gotchas
- Host Name: Some providers (like GoDaddy) only require you to enter
_dmarc. Others (like Route53) may require the full_dmarc.yourdomain.com. RiCheckLine your provider's help docs if it fails. - Propagation: DNS changes can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 48 hours to propagate globally.
- Conflicts: Ensure you do not have multiple TXT records for
_dmarc. You can only have one DMARC policy.
