| Back to Step 3: Setup DMARC policy |
|
Finalizing your DMARC policy:
Your domain's DMARC policy needs to be updated to either "quarantine" or "reject" emails that don't pass SPF and/or DKIM authentication.
- "quarantine" will instruct the receiving email server to divert the unauthenticated email to the SPAM/Junk folder.
- "reject" will instruct the receiving email server to block/bounce the unauthenticated email completely.
Note: You can begin with "quarantine", but you'll want to get your policy all the way to "reject" for the most security as soon as you can. Email service providers are requiring stricter policies, so it's best to get to "reject" as soon as possible to be fully aligned with the newer requirements.
- The "policy" part of your DMARC policy is the "p" parameter.
- Example policy set to "none": v=DMARC1; p=none;
- Example policy set to "quarantine": v=DMARC1; p=quarantine;
- Example policy set to "reject": v=DMARC1; p=reject;
What's next?
Once you've made the change to "quarantine" or "reject", use a free tool like this one to confirm that the DMARC policy is setup correctly.
You're done! Your emails sent through rezora are now correctly authenticating, and your domain, reputation, recipients, and deliverability are much better protected.
