Frequently Asked Questions

DMARC Record Checker will display the following tags.

v (required)

The version tag. The only allowed value is “DMARC1”. If it’s incorrect or the tag is missing, the DMARC record will be ignored.

p (required)

The DMARC policy. Allowed values are “none”, “quarantine”, or “reject”. The default is “none,” which takes no action against non-authenticated emails. It only helps collect DMARC reports and gain insight into your current email flows and their authentication status. “quarantine” marks the failed emails as suspicious, while “reject” blocks them.

rua

Aggregate report sending destination. It’s the “mailto:” URI that ESPs use to send failure reports. The tag is optional, but you won’t receive reports if you skip it.

ruf

Forensic (Failure) report sending destination. It’s the “mailto:” URI that ESPs use to send failure reports. The tag is optional, but you won’t receive reports if you skip it.

The subdomain policy. The subdomain inherits the domain policy tag (p=) explained above unless specifically defined here. Like the domain policy, the allowed values are “none,” “quarantine,” or “reject.” This option isn’t widely used nowadays.

adkim

The DKIM signature alignment. This tag follows the alignment between the DKIM domain and the parent Header From domain. Allowed values are “r” (relaxed) or “s” (strict). “r” is the default and allows a partial match, while the “s” tag requires the domains to be the same.

aspf

The SPF alignment. This tag follows the alignment between the SPF domain (the sender) and the Header From domain. Allowed values are “r” (relaxed) or “s” (strict). “r” is the default, and allows a partial match, while the “s” tag requires the domains to be exactly the same.

Forensic reporting options. Allowed values are “0,” “1,” “d,” and “s.” “0” is the default value, which generates a forensic report when both SPF and DKIM fail to produce an aligned pass. If either of the protocol outcome is something other than pass, use “1.” “d” generates a report when DKIM is invalid, while “s” does the same for SPF. Define the ruf tag to receive forensic reports.

The reporting format for failure reports. Allowed values are “afrf” and “iodef”.

pct

The percentage tag. This tag works on domains with “quarantine” or “reject” policy only. It marks the percentage of failed emails a given policy should be applied to. The rest falls under a lower policy. For example, if “pct=70,” on a domain with “quarantine” policy, it applies only 70% of the time. The remaining 30% goes under “p=none”. Similarly, if “p=reject” and “pct=70,” “reject” applies to the 70% of failed emails, and the 30% go into “quarantine.”

What is a DMARC Checker?

A DMARC checker is a tool that performs a DMARC record lookup by querying your domain’s DNS. It checks whether a valid DMARC record exists and analyzes its configuration.

If your domain returns a “no DMARC record found” result, it means your emails are not fully protected, and your domain may be vulnerable to spoofing or spam filtering issues.

Why DMARC Matters for Email Deliverability

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) works with SPF and DKIM to protect your domain and improve inbox placement.

A properly configured DMARC record helps you:

Without DMARC, your emails are more likely to be filtered or rejected.

What to Do If No DMARC Record Is Found

If your result shows no DMARC record found, you should create and publish one in your DNS.

This typically involves:

Depending on your provider, the process may vary (e.g., Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, GoDaddy, Zoho).
