How to solve DMARC policy not enabled in cloudflare

If we keep getting the message “DMARC policy not enabled” for our domain, it means that we are vulnerable to spoofing. This prompt may appear frequently while conducting reverse DNS lookups for your domain.

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is a method of email authentication. A DMARC policy instructs a receiving email server on what to do after checking a domain’s Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) records, both of which are additional email authentication methods. To prevent email spoofing, we can use DMARC and other email authentication methods.

Steps to add the DMARC record

1. Firstly, go to the cloudflare.com. Then, select the domain we want to manage and log in with our credentials.
2. Then, navigate to the Cloudflare DNS management page.
3. Click the “Add Record” button and select TXT as the record type.
4. Then, a form will appear to allow us to enter the new text type DNS record.
5. Finally, save the newly created DMARC record.

Advantages of using or enabling DMARC policy

There are several key reasons why we should use DMARC:

• Reputation: Publication of a DMARC record protects your brand by preventing unauthorized parties from sending email from your domain.
• Visibility: DMARC reports increase the visibility of your email programme by informing you of who is sending email from your domain.
• Security: DMARC assists the email community in developing a standardized policy for handling failed authentication messages. This contributes to the email ecosystem’s overall security and trustworthiness.
