Specialist check

Free DMARC record checker

Use this DMARC checker to confirm a domain has a DMARC record and see what policy it enforces: none, quarantine, or reject.

Checks
Reads the public DMARC record and parses policy, subdomain policy, coverage, alignment, and aggregate or forensic reporting destinations.
Cannot tell
It cannot prove that a real message aligned.

Example:

Expected time: about 5 to 20 seconds. Some public services can take longer.

Source: Live Google Public DNS. Parsed tags come from the record returned during this run.

Questions

DMARC is a DNS TXT record at _dmarc.yourdomain that tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM, and where to send reports. Google and Yahoo require it for bulk senders.

p=none is monitor-only. DMARC reports come in but nothing is enforced. It is a safe starting point, but for cold email you usually want to move to p=quarantine once your reports look clean.

Effectively yes. Google and Yahoo bulk-sender rules expect SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Missing DMARC is one of the most common pre-launch blockers OutboundQA catches.
