Frequently asked questions

How do I enable/update DMARC for my domain?

DMARC stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance. DMARC is used in combination with SPF and DKIM and provides instructions for what mail servers should do with e-mail messages with a sender address on your domain that does not validate SPF and/or DKIM.

If you use Domainnameshop as your email provider, we have set up a basic DMARC entry for your domain:

"v=DMARC1; p=quarantine"

You are free to change this yourself if you wish. It can be done from "advanced settings" in the DNS control panel for your domain, by creating or changing a TXT record with the hostname _dmarc, see instructions here.

In addition, it is possible to quickly change the DMARC policy (none/quarantine/reject) in the following way:

1. Log in to the control panel at https://domainnameshop.com/login
2. Click on My Domains
3. Click on the relevant domain
4. Click on the Email tab at the top of the page
5. Click Show advanced settings
6. Scroll down the DMARC policy page and select one of the 3 predefined settings
