A step-by-step guide on “How to Publish a DMARC Record with DreamHost”

Publishing a DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) record with DreamHost is a relatively simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1.Access Your DreamHost Account:

Log in to your DreamHost account through their web interface.

2. Navigate to the “Manage Website” page.

Click the “Manage” button to open the “Domain Settings” page, which allows you to adjust various settings for your site.

Depending on your interface:

  • Grid View: Locate your domain and click the Manage button at the bottom of the website box.
  • List View: Find your domain name and click the Manage button on the far right.

Navigating to DNS Settings

  • Once on the domain management page, select the DNS tab.
  • Click the Add Record button to create a new DNS record.
  • Scroll to the TXT Record section.

Enter as mentioned following

  1. Host: _dmarc
  2. TXT Value *: Below is a basic configuration that handles the majority of your DMARC needs. Just make sure to adjust the email addresses to the addresses you created above to receive incoming reports.
v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; fo=1; rua=mailto:dmarc_agg@example.com;ruf=mailto:dmarc_forensic@example.com;pct=100
  • Click the Add Record button to save.
