I have added a DMARC record (using the wizard), but when I check the domain with mxtoolbox.com, I get the warning “DMARC Quarantine/Reject policy not enabled”
DNS records
Go to pixata.co.uk Domain Health and look at the warnings. You can see this one. I added the DMARC record using the Cloudflare wizard.
Your DMARC policy is “none” so is just reporting spoofed emails using your domain. You can tell mail servers to deliver them to spam (“quarantine”) or block them (“reject”), or leave as “none”.

Make sure your SPF record is accurate before changing to prevent your own mail being filtered.
Thanks for the reply.
Please pretend that I don’t know anything about this, which is not far from the truth 
.
I really don’t understand this stuff, I just took the recommendation on my Cloudflare dashboard to add a DMARC record. It generated it for me.
Please can you explain what it should be. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I’ve been trying to understand this, but can’t get my head around it.
Thanks
Well, you had control over what was generated before saving it though 
Go to your Cloudflare DNS page and edit the DMARC record. This will be a TXT record type with the name _dmarc and content beginning with "v=DMARC1.... In the “Content” field, you’ll see p=none;. Change this to p=reject; or p=quarantine; as desired.
p=quarantine indicates that email servers should “quarantine” emails that fail DMARC — considering them to be potentially spam.p=reject instructs email servers to block or reject emails that fail DMARC check.@GeorgeAppiah Thanks for the reply.
You’re right, I did have control over it, but as I had no idea what it all meant, I didn’t feel particularly empowered by that ability 
I changed it to p=quarantine and the warning has gone away.
Thanks again.
