Setting up SPF, DKIM and DMARC involves a few steps but it’s straightforward once you know what to do. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Set Up SPF

1. Log into your domain registrar: Go to the DNS settings section.
2. Add a TXT record: Create a new TXT record with the following format:

3.         v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

This example includes Google’s SPF record and allows all other IPs.

2. Implement DKIM

1. Generate a DKIM key: If you’re using a service like Google Workspace, you can generate a DKIM key from the admin console.
2. Add a TXT record: Add a TXT record with the DKIM key to your DNS settings. The format will be provided by your email service provider.

3. Configure DMARC

1. Create a DMARC policy: Decide what should happen to emails that fail SPF and DKIM checks (e.g., reject, quarantine or none).
2. Add a TXT record: Add a TXT record for DMARC in your DNS settings. The format will look something like this:

3.         v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:admin@yourdomain.com

This example sets the policy to quarantine and sends reports to the specified email address.

4. Test Your Setup

1. Use online tools: Tools like MX Toolbox or Google Admin Toolbox Check MX can help you verify that your records are set up correctly.
