In order to describe how mail servers should treat communications from your domain that do not have proper SPF and DKIM records configured, you will learn how to set up DMARC records in cPanel in this article. The DMARC standard is used by many email providers (Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL, Hotmail, and so on), which improves the likelihood that your email will be delivered correctly.

1. Login to your cPanel account.

2. Under Domains, click Zone Editor.

3. Mention the domain that you want to manage.

4. After pressing Add Record, change the Type from A to TXT first. Then enter the below settings:

Field	Setting
Name	_dmarc
TTL	14400
Type	TXT
TXT Data	In this field you must select the way you want recipient servers to handle email from your domain that fails SPF/DKIM validation. Below are the options outlined in red: None: v=DMARC1; p=none; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400 Reject: v=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400 Quarantine: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400 Or, you can request for an email report of failed DMARC validations by entering a valid email address, as below: None: v=DMARC1; p=none; sp=none; ruf=mailto:user@example.com; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400 Reject: v=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=none; rf=afrf; pct=100; ruf=mailto:user@example.com; ri=86400 Quarantine: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; sp=none; ruf=mailto:user@example.com; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400

Then click on Add Record. In Zone Editor, type “_dmarc” and it will autopopulate the domain.

With this you will see your record listed in the Zone File Records section.
