Setting up a DMARC policy

Written by

Updated at April 9, 2025

To protect your domain from sender email spoofing and increase the security of your email communications, you need to set up a DMARC policy. Make sure your domain zone settings include the _dmarc.<domain>. TXT record. You can add a record with your registrar or in Yandex Cloud DNS if you have delegated your domain.

Example of creating a DMARC record in Cloud DNS

Management console
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing the address and your domain zone.

  2. Select Cloud DNS.

  3. Select your domain zone.

  4. Click Create record.

  5. In the Name field, specify _dmarc.

    Note

    For other DNS services, you may need to enter the full record name. The final record should be named _dmarc.<domain>..

  6. In the Type list, select TXT.

  7. In the Data field, enter a valid DMARC policy value. Note that the record value must be enclosed in quotes, for example:

    "v=DMARC1;p=none"
    

    This DMARC record means that if an email fails the DMARC check, the mail service will take no action, such as rejecting the email or classifying it as spam.

  8. Click Create.

DNS server responses are cached, so delays may occur when updating a resource record.
