How to Fix “No DMARC Record Found”?

Blogs
How-to-Fix-“No-DMARC-Record-Found”

“No DMARC record found”, or simply “no DMARC found” are all errors you may come across if your domain is missing DMARC record. Fixing this error may be as simple as having a DMARC record published on your domain’s DNS. 

Similar variations of the same error may be as follows: 

  • No DMARC record 
  • No DMARC record found 
  • DMARC record is missing
  • No DMARC found
  • Domain missing DMARC record 
  • DMARC record not found 
  • No DMARC record published 
  • DMARC policy not enabled
  • Unable to find DMARC record

DMARC and its role in email security

DMARC is an internet protocol that helps authenticate emails and plays a significant role in the protection of domains against impersonation. DMARC assumes popular authentication protocols – SPF and DKIM, and builds on them to validate messages sent from a domain.

Why is it Important to Fix “No DMARC Found” Error?

It is important to fix the “No DMARC Found” error since email is the easiest way cybercriminals can abuse your brand name, and email authentication is a primary defense mechanism to prevent such email fraud and brand impersonation attempts.

By using your domain and impersonating your brand, hackers can send malicious phishing emails to your own employees and customers. Since SMTP is not retrofitted with secure protocols against fake “From” fields, an attacker can forge email headers to send fraudulent emails from your domain. Not only will this compromise security in your organization, but it will seriously harm your brand reputation.

Email spoofing can lead to BEC (Business Email Compromise), loss of valuable company information, unauthorized access to confidential data, financial loss and reflect poorly on your brand’s image. Even after implementing SPF and DKIM for your domain, you cannot prevent cybercriminals from impersonating your domain. 

This is why you need an email authentication protocol like DMARC, which authenticates emails using both the mentioned protocols and specifies to receiving servers of your clients, employees, and partners how to respond if an email is from an unauthorized source and fails authentication checks. This gives you maximum protection against exact-domain attacks and helps you be in complete control of your company’s domain.

Furthermore, with the help of an effective email authentication standard like DMARC, you can improve your email delivery rate, reach, and trust. All this makes it increasingly important to fix the “No DMARC record found” error.

How to determine your DMARC enforcement policy?

To determine which DMARC policy mode you should choose for the policy parameter (p), you can refer to the table below: 

Zero enforcement/monitoring only p=none
Review unauthorized emails in the spam folder p=quarantine
Discard/Not deliver emails that fail DMARC p=reject

Step 5: Click Generate

Click Generate

Step 6: Add DMARC Record 

Add DMARC Record

Access your DNS advanced editor in your DNS management console to publish the missing DMARC record, like in the example shown below:

Note: Make sure you have either SPF or DKIM enabled for your messages before you enable DMARC authentication, to get rid of the “no DMARC found” error.

Is Adding The Missing DMARC Record Enough?

It can be annoying and confusing to come across prompts saying “Hostname returned a missing or invalid DMARC record” when checking for a domain’s DMARC record while using online tools.

Once you have successfully resolved the “No DMARC record found” prompt and your domain is now configured with DMARC authentication, your work doesn’t end there. Fixing the “No DMARC record found” issue simply isn’t enough to protect your domain against spoofing and phishing attacks or to make sure that this error won’t reoccur. Monitoring your domain and emails is a must! 

I’ve fixed the “No DMARC record found” error, what’s next?

Once you have fixed the “no DMARC record found” error on your domain, it is important to make sure your published record is valid.

  • Check your DMARC record with a DMARC record checker tool. It’s free!
  • DMARC makes use of SPF and/or DKIM identifiers to verify the authority of sending domains. Make sure you have a valid and published SPF/DKIM record for your domain. Check it here.
