How to add a DMARC record on Namecheap

In this article, you will learn how to create a DMARC record on Namecheap with a policy set to 'none.'

Adding a DMARC record is one of the final steps in authenticating your domain. This can be found in the popup containing the records to add.

To add the DMARC record, log in to your Namecheap account and navigate to the Advanced DNS settings for your domain, specifically to the DNS zone of your domain name.

Create a new DNS record by following these steps:

1. To begin, create a TXT record. After selecting the record type, enter the Host and Value as shown below.

2. In the Host field, enter _dmarc (as shown in the Name column of your systeme.io setup instructions).

3. Enter the value of your record. Here is an example of a value for DMARC :

• v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:youraddress@yourdomain.com

Example: If your email address is example@example.fr , you must add the value  v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:example@example.fr

4. Finally, click on the green checkmark to confirm.

Remarks:

1. You must only have one DMARC record in your DNS settings. If you already have one, please remove it before adding the new record.

2. By adding the DMARC record, a daily report is generated and sent by email providers (like Gmail and Yahoo). These DMARC reports are sent to the email address you included in the 'rua' tag of your DMARC record.

To avoid being overwhelmed by these notifications, we recommend that you add a specific email address from the same domain that you will dedicate solely for these notifications, and use it specifically for DMARC report notifications. You just need to set up the notification email addition on the part rua=mailto:example@example.com when adding the DMARC record.
