Generating MyNewsDesk DMARC Value:

MyNewsDesk doesn't give the DMARC record but it's important for sender verification. DMARC makes your domain more secure and allows you to be recognized as an authorized source.

You can generate your custom DMARC value with the help of the DmarcDkim.com Tool.

  1. Go to the DMARC Check Tool.

  2. Write your domain name and click Check.

    Check domain for suggested DMARC value

  3. The tool gives you a suggested DMARC value which specifies policies for unauthorized emails.

    Add the DMARC record to DNS provider

  4. Copy the Suggested value and add it to the DNS dashboard.

  5. Select type TXT and click Save.

    Add the DMARC Record to your DNS dashboard

If the DNS records are not verified after 24 hours, it indicates a potential misconfiguration in your DNS setup. To troubleshoot the authentication errors, contact the MyNewsDesk support team or hire a DmarcDkim.com expert.
