How to Implement DMARC

DMARC is more than a DNS record — it is a process of taking control of an organization's email infrastructure.

1

Check the Domain

Run a free DMARC check to see the current authentication status and identify weak spots in the email setup.

2

Start Collecting Reports

Publish a DMARC record with a monitoring policy to begin receiving reports about who sends email on the domain's behalf.

3

Fix Email Sources

Use the DMARC Dashboard to identify misconfigured email sources and align SPF and DKIM across all senders.

4

Enforce a Strict Policy

Move to quarantine to divert suspicious messages to spam, then to reject to block them outright and protect the brand from impersonation.
