Set up DMARC reports

For Clarios to show you DMARC reports for your domains, those reports first need to reach Clarios. To make that possible, Clarios has created a personal email address for you. You add this address once at your DNS provider, and after that it runs by itself.

ℹ️ Note: The Set Up DMARC Report Forwarding dialog only shows you your address and an example. Clarios does not change your DNS itself. You make that change at your DNS provider. You don’t need any special permissions in Clarios for this.

Step by step

  1. Open the Mail Security area. The first time, the Set Up DMARC Report Forwarding dialog opens on its own.
  2. In the dialog, find the Your DMARC Report Address field and click the copy button next to it. The address is now on your clipboard.
  3. In another window, open the management page at your DNS provider (where your domain is managed).
  4. Add your address to your domain’s DMARC record. Put it in the rua field (and, if you like, in ruf too), exactly as shown in the Example of DNS Configuration for DMARC: in the dialog.
  5. Save the record at your provider.
  6. Back in Clarios, close the dialog with Got it. If you don’t want it to appear again next time, tick Don’t show again first.

✅ Done. Your address is in your DNS. From now on, the receiving mail servers send their DMARC reports to Clarios.

Good to know

  • The example record in the dialog looks like this: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:<your-report-address>; ruf=mailto:<your-report-address>;. Always use the address the dialog shows you.
  • It takes a little while. The first reports usually don’t arrive straight away. They’re typically generated only once a day. Until then you’ll see a warning icon on the domain.
  • Once reports come in, the charts (SPF Pass/Fail, DMARC Disposition, DKIM Pass/Fail) and the table in the domain’s DMARC area fill in by themselves.
