In this tutorial, we show you how to setup **DMARC** records in cPanel to specify how mail servers should handle messages from your domain that don’t have valid [**SPF** and **DKIM**](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/email/spf-records-domain-keys-combating-spam/) records setup. Since the DMARC standard is used by many email providers (such as Gmail, Yahoo!, AOL, Hotmail, Outlook), it increases your chances of email being delivered successfully. We provide basic DMARC record examples below.

6. Enter the **Name**, **TTL**, **Type**, and **Record** as described below. Keep in mind that you must select one of the following options for the *Record* field: **None**, **Reject**, or **Quarantine**. Field Setting Name _dmarc TTL 14400 Type TXT Record In this field you must choose how you want recipient servers to handle email from your domain that fails SPF/DKIM validation. Options are outlined below 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` Alternately, you can request an email report of failed DMARC validations by adding a valid email address, such as the following: **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`
7. Click **Add Record** to save your record. **Note**: In **Zone Editor**, typing “*_dmarc*” will autopopulate the domain.![Saving DMARC settings](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/dns_imh-cpanel-zone-editor-4-add-dmarc.png)You will then see your record listed in the *Zone Records* section.
