_dmarc being ignored.

[lee069]

Hi, I'm trying to added a TXT record to the DNS

_dmarc

but it just seems to get ignored, has anyone else had this?

..and I have waited 24 hours and restarted the DNS

Regards Lee.

Hello.

How did you add that and how did you check?

..and I have waited 24 hours and restarted the DNS

You can check you records without waiting:
for example next command:

Code Select Expand

dig @your_dns_server your_domain -t TXT

Hi, i added it with the dns editor in the control panel. I have done  this many times for other reasons so i guess I'm doing it write.
As I'm trying to add a dmarc record I've used a dmarc test websites that all say that the record _dmarc is missing,  but it is there in the dns entry. Is it becuase it doesn't like the character _

Thanks Lee.

Check your dmark record in the dns zone file.
Try to use "Edit file" instead "Edit records".

Hi,

I checked the dns file and it is in there at the bottom:-

_dmarc.mydomain.co.uk IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:admin@mydomain.co.uk";

But what ever I test to read that file it is always reported as missing.
