| Back to Step 2: Setup DKIM for rezora |
Adding DMARC:
Your domain needs to have a DMARC policy in place. DMARC allows your domain to tell receiving email servers what to do with an email that doesn't pass your SPF and/or DKIM authentication.
Note: Your domain should only have one DMARC record in place. If you're not sure if it does already, see this article: Does my domain have DMARC set up?
- If your domain does not yet have a DMARC policy in place, you need to add this text record to your DNS:
- v=DMARC1; p=none;
- Once you've added it, use the article linked above to confirm that DMARC is found for your domain, and then proceed to the next step.
Preparing to finalize your DMARC policy:
At this point, your domain will successfully authenticate emails sent through rezora!
However, there may be one final step needed: if your DMARC policy is set to "p=none", it is not yet instructing email servers to block or divert emails that do not pass authentication (i.e., through other services outside of rezora).
Your DMARC policy needs to be updated to either "quarantine" or "reject" emails that don't pass authentication - only then are your domain, reputation and recipients protected.
Before you make this change in the next step, if you do use any other third parties to send emails on behalf of your domain, you should implement SPF and DKIM authentication for them as well. For info on how to do this, please contact their support team.
Once all third parties that send on behalf of your domain are setup with SPF and DKIM authentication, you can proceed to finalizing your DMARC policy.
