What is DMARC?<\/strong><\/h2>

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is an email authentication system designed to safeguard your organization’s domains from spoofing, phishing, and other cyber threats. It enhances existing email verification methods like SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail).<\/p>

Configuring DMARC for your organization is one of the most effective steps you can take to protect your business. DMARC helps prevent domain-based email attacks, such as Business Email Compromise (BEC) and impersonation, while also improving your email delivery rates. If you use DirectAdmin as your DNS hosting provider, follow these steps to set up DMARC:<\/p>

DirectAdmin DMARC Setup Guide<\/h3>
  1. Generate a custom DMARC record<\/strong>\u00a0for your domain using a free DMARC record generator.\u00a0https:\/\/dmarcian.com\/dmarc-record-wizard\/<\/li>\n\n
  2. Log in to your DirectAdmin<\/strong>\u00a0account.<\/li>\n\n
  3. Navigate to “DNS Management.”<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
  4. Open the DNS Editor.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n
  5. Click “Add”<\/strong>\u00a0to create a new DMARC TXT record.<\/li>\n\n
  6. In the “Name” field,<\/strong>\u00a0enter\u00a0_dmarc<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n
  7. Select “TXT”<\/strong>\u00a0as the resource type.<\/li>\n\n
  8. In the “Value” field,<\/strong>\u00a0enter the DMARC record value generated for your domain. For example:<div><button>Copy code<\/button><p><\/p><\/div><p><code>v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:rua@example.com; pct=100; <\/code><\/p><\/li>\n\n
  9. Click “Save”<\/strong>\u00a0to publish your DMARC record in DirectAdmin.<\/li><\/ol>

    Note:<\/strong> It may take 24-48 hours for DirectAdmin to process your record and enable DMARC authentication for your domain. Ensure you only publish one DMARC record per domain, as having multiple records can disrupt the protocol.<\/p>

    Finally, use a DMARC record checker <\/a>to verify that the DMARC record has been correctly published in the DNS. For example you can use\u00a0https:\/\/www.dmarcanalyzer.com\/dmarc\/dmarc-record-check\/<\/p>
