Mail records
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
I set up dmarc as instructed … I can’t try again. At least I don’t know it I should delete the first try and do it again. Tho I would need to know how to delete the failed record first. Newbie at this … so I appreciate the help. Ira
What are you using to send email? The only servers listed in your SPF record are Cloudflare’s, which are receive-only. You need to list your sending mail server there as well. Whatever provider you use to send email should be able to tell you what you need in your SPF record for them.
There are a couple of tools you can use to test your setup by sending them a test email:
Thanks for the reply … no the email should (I assume) go through cloudflare whether sent or recieving. It comes into my Google account and whereever else I put that email info. But the records are on Cloudflare so that’s where the DMARC records should be too?
Sorry, I normally don’t have to handle these things myself so little things like this can and are difficult. Also, more confusing is I used the cloudflare dmarc tool to install it. So, I just “assumed” it was going to install it with my other records there.
Do I really need to watch videos or read up on the DMARC? with my other sites not using Cloudflare with just pasted in the Dmarc code and it was done. Which is likely what I will do here if I can’t get it to work. So, it’s likely that the CF Dmarc tool is beta and well … not working properly. I just want to make sure I can check this off a long list before the holiday.
Cloudflare handles only incoming email. If you’re using Gmail, and sending email from there from your custom domain, then your SPF record needs to include an entry for Gmail saying it’s valid for your domain’s email to come from Gmail.
Your DMARC record looks fine already.
(Yes, the DNS entries are done at Cloudflare.)
Your current SPF setup is a TXT record with this value:
