Hello,

If I update my DMARC record will I then be compliant? I have a branded from email: hello@brand.com for example so does this mean Klaviyo already has my authentication? Is there anything else I need to do?

 

Also, for the record: I have the error: Invalid "ruf" tag: " (the brand below is replaced by the actual name)

 

I am not sure what the ruf tag should be?

 

v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:reports@brand.com; ruf=mailto:an-email-address

    Hi @LauraF123,

    You need to make changes are applied in the DNS. Once this is added you can check if it's configured correctly on mxtoolbox (https://mxtoolbox.com/dmarc.aspx

    The correct way would be to add a TXT record with:

    “v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:reports@brand.com; ruf=mailto:an-email-address;”

    Hi @LauraF123,

    Adding a dmarc record to the DNS is indeed the first step.
    As for the record you shared, the RUF should have a ; at the end.

    Maybe a good thing to do is to either use Glockapps for this (that way you're not posting a public email online which can be spammed) or cloudflare also has an option that does this for you.

    Last thing, make sure you stay within the 0,3% spam complaint rates Gmail will enforce from now on. 

    Good luck!

    Thank you. For the Google delivery where / how can I check this? I’ve a Google account for my business for search will it be here somewhere? Or a different log in? Or on Klaviyo?

     

    will the record need to be updated on Klaviyo or is it automatic?

     

    would the record below be okay - this isn’t our email I’m using an example but plan to use our domain email.


    v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:reports@brand.com; ruf=mailto:an-email-address;

     

    or:
     

    v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:reports@brand.com; ruf=mailto:reports@brand.com
