How to Add DMARC Record in cPanel: cPanel DMARC Setup Guide
This post provides step-by-step instructions on how to add a DMARC record in cPanel.
About DMARC records
First of all, a DMARC record is a TXT record published to the DNS for your domain, under dmarc.yourdomain.com, where “yourdomain.com” is your actual domain or subdomain. It tells the email receiver what to do when an email message fails DMARC authentication, and also where to send reports on email delivery statistics.
For more information on DMARC records, refer to: Everything about a DMARC Record.
Generate your DMARC record
Before moving on, make sure you have generated your DMARC record, using our free DMARC record generator.
Publish the DMARC record in cPanel
Now the record is ready, follow the steps below to publish it!

TXT Value: (DMARC record created above)
TTL: 1 hourMake sure the record type is TXT, host is set to _dmarc, value is set to the record generated above. Click the Add Record button to save the settings. Now you have added the record!
4. Check the published DMARC record
