Microsoft has introduced stricter security requirements for emails sent to Outlook and Hotmail. This means your emails may be blocked if your domain is missing important email security settings, such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve received the error message “Message lacks SPF\/DKIM\/DMARC Auth Records” when trying to send an email, it could mean that one of these settings is missing or isn’t working correctly.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily add a DMARC record through the DNS settings in your Control Panel. For more information about SPF and DKIM, check out our guide on improving email delivery<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is DMARC?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DMARC is an email security feature that works together with SPF and DKIM. These settings help email providers check that emails sent from your domain come from an authorized sender. DMARC also lets you decide what should happen to emails that don’t pass these security checks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend starting with the setting p=none. This enables DMARC checks without requesting that emails be blocked if they fail.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Open the DNS settings in your Control Panel<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Log in to your Control Panel<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Click on your domain in the list of services.\u00a0\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Select DNS<\/strong> from the menu on the left.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Open DNS settings<\/strong> and select the TXT<\/strong> tab.\u00a0\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Here, you can view and manage your domain’s TXT records. These are a type of DNS record used for things like email security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Before continuing, it’s a good idea to check that your domain already has SPF and DKIM records. If you’re using our email service, these should normally already be in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          2. Add your DMARC record<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Before you start: You can only have one DMARC record per domain. If your domain already has one, update the existing record instead of adding a new one.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Once you’ve opened the TXT<\/strong> tab, follow these steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Click the blue Create new record<\/strong> button.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Enter the following details:\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Field Value\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Subdomain _dmarc <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Value v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:report@exampledomain.com<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              TTL 3600 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Comment Optional, you can leave this blank <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Important:<\/strong> Replace report@exampledomain.com<\/a> with an email address you have access to and want to use for receiving DMARC reports. Don’t want to receive reports? You can use this simpler value instead: v=DMARC1; p=none<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Click Save changes<\/strong> to save your new record.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                3. Check that your DMARC record is working<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Once you’ve saved your record, you can check that everything has been set up correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Go to MX Toolbox<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Enter your domain name.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Click Check DMARC record<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. Make sure your DMARC record is found and that no errors are shown.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                        All done!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Good to know:<\/strong> It may take a little while for your new DNS settings to take effect. If your record doesn’t show up straight away, try checking again in a few hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Need help?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                        Do you have questions or need help adding your DMARC record? You’re always welcome to contact our support team<\/a>, and we’ll be happy to help you check your DNS settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
