Original Post:
In the GoHighLevel Official Facebook group, a user has asked for the best DMARC record to ensure email deliverability for a domain. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is a DNS (Domain Name System) record that helps protect against email phishing and spoofing attacks.

Summary:
A user in the GoHighLevel Official Facebook group is seeking guidance on the best DMARC record to guarantee email deliverability for a domain. DMARC records are crucial in preventing fraudulent email activities such as phishing and spoofing attacks.

Insights:
As a content writer for GoHighLevel Tutorials, I can provide some insights regarding DMARC records. While I am not an expert in the specific topic of DMARC records as it relates to GoHighLevel software, I can offer general advice on the importance of implementing a strong DMARC policy for email deliverability.

DMARC allows domain owners to specify how email receivers should handle unauthenticated emails appearing to be from their domain. By setting a DMARC policy, domain owners can choose to reject or quarantine suspicious emails, protecting their brand reputation and ensuring legitimate emails are delivered successfully. It is crucial to note that email deliverability is a multifaceted challenge, involving factors beyond DMARC records, such as sender reputation, email content, and recipient engagement.

For more specific guidance regarding DMARC records and GoHighLevel software, I encourage readers to check the comments below the article or follow the source link for responses and updates from experts in the GoHighLevel Official Facebook group.

Please note that I am confident in providing general insights on email deliverability and DMARC, but for precise recommendations related to GoHighLevel software, it is best to consult official documentation or seek assistance from the GoHighLevel support team.

    there is only one DMARC record and it doesn’t help deliverability for a domain. It helps you understand whether you have the other DKIM and SPF and rDNS properly set and it does boost the security against spammers abusing your domain if you have everything else correctly set and if you have the Dmarc set with different policies like quarantine and reject. I do recommend using the postmarkapp dmarc provider because it gives you the reports in an easily readable manner.

    there isn;t a DMARC that is best

    None – means that nothing is done with an email that passes or fails SPF or DKIM, it is used for monitoring to know you have the settings right – while there is a DMARC record with this, it isn’t really worth anything for the spam checkers

    Quarantine or Reject – these are where the value comes from it, but if you don’t have everything else perfect you could end up rejecting or qurantining your emails at the recipients – which is why None is used to monitor
    At this point spam checkers take more note to not put you in junk, as you’re showing if it fails DKIM or SPF you want the email to be quarantines or rejected showing your actual emails are properly set up

    However the reports you get back are not easy readable – we monitor our clients DMARC reports to ensure their other settings are working perfectly and continue watching after quarantine or reject is activated

    Having DMARC in place aids deliverability as it assures the receiving party that you’ve taken sufficient action and monitor your domain for spam usage. Ineffective DMARC doesn’t prevent abuse of your domain by phishers or spammers.

    Here’s the policy most people have in place. It’s quite effective as the policy directs Gmail/Outlook/Yahoo or any ESP to REJECT email originating from the domain and failing the DMARC check.

    v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:XYZ; ruf=mailto:XYZ;
    (where XYZ is the email address of your IT/Email Administrator)

    ‘None’ is safer and prone to strict spam checking at the same time. Know it before you adopt it.
