In today’s digital landscape, email security is more critical than ever. Implementing a DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) record helps protect your domain from email spoofing and phishing attacks. If you’re using tools like Ubico to manage your outreach, a secure domain ensures that your campaigns reach the right audience without compromising trust.
A DMARC record is a TXT record added to your domain’s DNS settings. It works alongside SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) to authenticate your emails and provide instructions for handling messages that fail these checks. With DMARC, you can also receive detailed reports on email activity related to your domain.
To get started, visit Google Domains and sign in with your Google account credentials.
Once logged in, locate the domain where you want to add the DMARC record. Click on the domain name (e.g., ubico.io) to access its management settings.
In the left-hand menu, select DNS to open your domain’s DNS configuration page.
Scroll down to the Custom Records section and click Manage custom records to open the editor.
Create a new TXT record with the following details:
Replace [email protected] with your actual email address (e.g., [email protected]) to receive aggregate and forensic reports.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the DMARC policy elements:
After entering the details, click Save to apply the changes. The new DMARC record will now be active for your domain.
