DMARC record checker
Enter a domain to read its published DMARC record, the policy it sets and where reports go.
Run the check
What this checks
- Looks up
- TXT record at _dmarc.<your domain>
- Shows
- Policy, subdomain policy, percentage, report addresses, alignment
- Does not do
- Read your reports or send test mail
Free to use, up to 6 checks a minute and 60 a day from one address. The check runs on our server and the result is not stored by this tool.
Where to find it
DMARC lives in your DNS as a TXT record named _dmarc. Your DNS host or email provider manages it.
Common mistakes
- Staying on p=none forever. It only monitors and does not block spoofed mail.
- No rua= address, so no aggregate reports ever arrive.
- Publishing the record on the wrong name. It must be at _dmarc.yourdomain.
Questions
What do the policies mean?
none: report only. quarantine: ask receivers to treat failing mail as suspicious. reject: ask receivers to refuse failing mail.
Does it check the report addresses?
It lists them. It does not test whether a third-party report address has agreed to receive your reports.
Is this the same as a DMARC monitoring service?
No. This is a one-time lookup of what is published right now.
