If your domain is on GoDaddy and you send business emails, setting up a DMARC record on GoDaddy is no longer optional. Without <\/span>DMARC<\/span><\/a>, anyone can send emails that look like they came from your domain, which puts your brand, customers, and email deliverability at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

DMARC works with <\/span>SPF<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>DKIM<\/span><\/a> to help inbox providers like Gmail and Outlook determine which emails are legitimate and which should be blocked. The good news is that adding a DMARC record in GoDaddy is easy when you follow the right steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a detailed guide on how to do it safely and simply.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1. Generate a DMARC Record<\/h2>\n

Before logging into GoDaddy, you first need a DMARC record. This is a line of text that tells receiving mail servers what to do when an email from your domain fails authentication.<\/span><\/p>\n

The easiest way to do this is by using the <\/span>EasyDMARC DMARC Record Generator<\/span><\/a>. It asks a few simple questions and automatically builds a correct DMARC record for you. This avoids syntax mistakes that can break your email security.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since DMARC depends on SPF and DKIM, you will also need to create the respective records using the <\/span>EasyDMARC SPF Record Generator<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>DKIM Record Generator.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

What Information Is Needed to Create a DMARC Record?<\/b><\/h3>\n

To generate a DMARC record, you only need a few pieces of basic information, but each one plays an important role in how your email security works.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First is your domain name. This is the domain you send emails from, like yourcompany.com. DMARC is applied per domain, so the record must match the exact domain used in the From address of your emails.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Second is the DMARC policy. This tells inbox providers what to do when an email fails authentication.
    \n<\/span>a) p=none instructs to just monitor and send reports
    \n<\/span>b) p=quarantine instructs to send failed emails to spam
    \nc) p=reject instructs to block them completely<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Third is an email address for DMARC reports. This is where\u00a0 receiving mail servers send daily reports showing who is sending emails on your behalf and whether they are passing or failing SPF and DKIM checks.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Example of a Basic DMARC Record<\/b><\/h3>\n

    A basic DMARC record looks like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

    v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Here is what each element means:<\/span><\/p>\n
