Add a TXT record at Any other DNS host

Where: The DNS or zone editor at the company whose name servers your domain uses

Steps

1. Find the name servers for your domain (our free DMARC checker shows them if unsure) and open that company’s DNS editor.
2. Add a record of type TXT.
3. Name or host: _dmarc (some hosts want _dmarc.yourdomain.com). For SPF use @ or the domain itself.
4. Value: paste the record exactly.
5. Save, wait a few minutes, then check it with the DMARC checker.

Watch for

• Do not add a second record where one exists: a domain may have only one DMARC record and only one SPF record.
• Do not add quotes unless your host asks for them.

Screens change from time to time; if yours differs, Any other DNS host’s own help is the authority. When the record is in, check it with the DMARC checker; DNS changes can take a few minutes to appear.
