How to set up a DMARC

Setting up DMARC to protect your company email is much easier than it seems. In this post, we will show you 3 easy steps to set up DMARC: create, publish, and analyze.

A DMARC record is used to protect against email spoofing. It is a TXT record that is added to a domain’s DNS record. The DMARC record contains instructions for receiving mail servers on what to do with messages that fail or pass DMARC authentication.

Step 1: Generate a DMARC record

Identify the email domain you send business emails from. For example, if you use the address sales@_mycompany.com to send sales emails to prospects, the domain is mycompany.com & generate a DMARC record.

Create a Skysnag account to generate your DMARC record.

Step 2: Add the DMARC record to your DNS

Copy the DMARC record from the Skysnag dashboard, then add it to your DNS records. For more instructions on how to do this, please see our guide.

Step 3: You’re done!
