DMARC Record Wizard
Generate a DMARC record step-by-step so you can protect your domain from email spoofing, improve authentication, and monitor reports for smarter enforcement.
Protecting Your Domain From Email Spoofing and Abuse
You may be sending emails from your domain, but without proper authentication, others can misuse it.
DMARC helps verify legitimate senders and gives you control over how unauthorized emails are handled.
Without this protection, your domain could be used for spoofing, which can damage deliverability and trust.
This guide will show you how to create and apply a DMARC record so your email system stays secure and reliable.
Once you understand how DMARC works, follow the steps below to configure policies, monitor reports, and apply your DNS settings inside your BizStackPro setup.
Overview
The DMARC Record Wizard helps you generate a valid DMARC record by walking you through the key decisions: policy level, report addresses, alignment settings, and rollout percentage. This makes it easier to improve security without breaking legitimate sending.
Follow along: A safe approach is to start with p=none (monitoring only), review reports, then move to quarantine or reject once you’re confident.
Steps to Use the DMARC Record Wizard
- Enter your domain: Input the domain you want to protect.
- Select a policy: Choose none (monitor), quarantine, or reject.
- Add an aggregate reporting address: Enter an email to receive DMARC XML reports (example:
[email protected]). - Failure reporting (optional): Add a forensic reporting email if you want more detailed failure info.
- Identifier alignment: Choose Relaxed (allows subdomain matches) or Strict (exact match required).
- Subdomain policy (optional): Apply a separate policy to subdomains, or let them inherit the root domain policy.
- Policy percentage: Set the portion of traffic DMARC applies to (helpful for gradual rollout).
- Apply the record: Copy the wizard-generated DMARC record and add it to your DNS provider as a TXT record.
Pro tip: Use a dedicated mailbox for DMARC reports so your main inbox doesn’t get flooded—and so reports are easier to review over time.
Best Practices
- Start with none to monitor before enforcing stricter policies.
- Keep SPF and DKIM configured correctly before ramping up to quarantine/reject.
- Review aggregate reports regularly to identify unauthorized sending sources.
- Increase your policy percentage gradually as you confirm legitimate senders are aligned.
Quick sanity check: If you’re seeing legitimate emails failing DMARC, it usually means a sender isn’t aligned with SPF/DKIM (or a “From” domain mismatch).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DMARC Record Wizard, and how does it help?
It guides you step-by-step to generate a DMARC record, helping prevent domain abuse and improve email authentication visibility.
How do I start creating a DMARC record using the Wizard?
Enter your domain name in the first step of the wizard to begin.
What are the DMARC policy options?
Options include none (monitor), quarantine (send to spam), and reject (block unauthorized mail).
Where do I enter my email address for DMARC reports?
Add it in the Aggregate Reporting step—this receives DMARC XML reports about your domain’s sending activity.
What is Identifier Alignment in DMARC?
It ensures the domain in the “From” address aligns with SPF/DKIM. Relaxed allows subdomain matches; Strict requires exact matches.
Can I set separate DMARC policies for subdomains?
Yes—you can apply a different policy to subdomains or have them inherit the main policy.
What does the Policy Percentage option do?
It lets you roll out enforcement gradually by applying DMARC to only a percentage of your email traffic.
How do I apply the DMARC record after using the Wizard?
Copy the generated DMARC TXT record and add it in your DNS provider’s settings for the domain.
Protect Your Domain Before Someone Else Uses It
DMARC helps prevent spoofing and gives you visibility into who is sending mail “as your domain”—so you can tighten enforcement with confidence.
More trust. Better security.
