Quick Answer

To add a DMARC record on GoDaddy, log in to your account, open your Domain Portfolio, select your domain, and go to DNS Management. Then add a TXT record with the host _dmarc and your DMARC policy.

Steps to Add a DMARC Record on GoDaddy

1. Log in to your GoDaddy account

Log into to your GoDaddy Account

Go to Profile located at the top right corner of your screen

Click “My Products” to access domain portfolio once the dropdown menu appears

2. Open your domain settings

Find the domain you want to manage

Click on “Domain” on the menu located at the far left of your screen

3. Locate DNS Record settings

Now click on “DNS” then “DNS Records” on the menu at the top

4. Locate the record you want to change

Click “Add New Record”

Select TXT as the record type

5. Enter the DMARC record details

Fill in the required fields:

Name: _dmarc

Value: your DMARC policy

Example DMARC record:

v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com

What Happens Next

DMARC records usually take effect within a few minutes, but may take up to 24 hours depending on DNS propagation.

After propagation, email providers will begin applying your DMARC policy and sending reports if configured.

Common Issues

1. DMARC record not detected
   • Confirm the host is set to _dmarc
   • Wait for DNS propagation before testing again
2. Multiple DMARC records found
   • Only one DMARC record should exist per domain
