DMARC Record Wizard
Answer five questions and get a copy-ready DMARC record with step-by-step DNS instructions for your provider.
Reports arrive as XML — any mailbox you own works.
Your DMARC record
| Name | _dmarc.yourdomain.dk |
| Type | TXT |
How to add it
- Log in at dns.services and select your domain's zone.
- Add a new record from the zone editor (or via the DNS.services API for DNS-as-code).
- Name/Host: _dmarc. Type: TXT.
- Content: paste the generated value, quoted. TTL: 3600. Save.
Writing a DMARC record by hand is easy to get slightly — and consequentially — wrong. A missing mailto: prefix silently kills your reports; a p=reject copied from a blog post before your senders are aligned bounces your own newsletters; a stray semicolon invalidates the whole record at some receivers. The format is unforgiving because machines, not people, consume it millions of times a day.
This wizard generates the record from decisions instead of syntax. The most important one is the policy stage. If your domain has never had DMARC, start at p=none: it is not "off", it is monitoring — you receive aggregate reports showing every service sending as your domain, including the ones you forgot about. After a few weeks of clean reports, move to quarantine, optionally with a reduced pct to phase it in, and finally to reject. Skipping the monitoring stage is the classic way to lose legitimate mail.
The reporting address decides where those aggregate reports land. They arrive as XML attachments — readable in a pinch, but meant for software. Any mailbox you control works to start with. The alignment questions (adkim/aspf) can stay on relaxed for almost everyone; strict alignment is for tightly controlled setups where the exact From domain must match the authenticated domain.
When you are done, the wizard shows the exact TXT record — name, type and value — and where to paste it for common providers used in Denmark: DNS.services, one.com, Simply.com and any registrar using standard DNS management. Publish it, wait for DNS to propagate, and verify the result with our DMARC Inspector.
