Email DMARC Setup Basics

Add SPF, DKIM, and DMARC

This guide explains adding SPF and DKIM to a domain, creating a DMARC policy, monitoring rua/rua reports, and tightening policy from none to quarantine/reject.

Set SPF and DKIM

Publish SPF with authorized senders; enable DKIM signing on your mail service.

Create DMARC record

Start with p=none, include rua/ruf addresses for reports, and a reasonable alignment.

Monitor reports

Review XML reports to find unauthorized senders and fix alignment issues.

Enforce gradually

Move to quarantine then reject once authorized sources are clean.
