DMARC not unable/Hostname issue

Dear Sir,

Greetings.

I have VPS , install Virtalmin/Webmin panel on it.

I have sed mailwizz email software to send out my daily emails.

When i send out test email to mail-tester.com , i gets following errors:

1.dmarc record not enable.

  1. We didn't find a server (A Record) behind your hostname sendmyemails.icu

I did try to enter Dmarc record in Bind DNS section of virtalmin as follows:

1)_dmarc.sendmyemails.icu. DMARC Default v=DMARC1; p=none
2) _dmarc.sendmyemails.icu. DMARC Default v=DMARC1; p=reject; adkim=s; aspf=s; sp=reject
3) _dmarc.sendmyemails.icu. DMARC Default v=DMARC1; pct=100; ruf=mailto:mwiz@sendmyemails.icu; rua=mailto:mwiz@sendmyemail

Pls help me, DMarc test does not pass, also i am not able to verify my domain on postmaster.google.com , it did try to add TX record , but it does gets validated.

Can yo help me

@booktrainingseat I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble setting up your DMARC policy! Mail servers are a tricky thing and are even more so when you are attempting to set up your own name servers. I'll provide some direction and resources below that should help you troubleshoot this issue.

In order to begin troubleshooting, you will want to check a few different things to cover all your bases. First, you'll want to check your domain's DNS records by running dig from within your terminal application. This will allow you to see what records have properly propagated. From there, you'll have an idea of what to troubleshoot next.

Most importantly, you'll need to make sure your glue records are set up properly at your registrar. Since you mentioned that you are using Virtualmin, as your control panel, to set up your DNS records using BIND we can also look at their site for direction. Virtualamin has some additional troubleshooting steps outlined in the article linked. Once you've run through those steps, you can use a DMARC analyzer to check your DMARC policy.

I've included some additional resources below that may help you troubleshoot this issue. They may also help give you a better understanding of this often complicated process.

I hope this helps, and let us know how it goes!

Additional Resources:

Do you also have SPF and DKIM records to go with the policy stated in your DMARC record? Setting these up is separate from DMARC and can be somewhat involved (esp. DKIM).
