    Hello, I’m receiving this alert in the healt tools:
    Action Recommended: It doesn’t look like DMARC has been set up on your domain. We recommend using the DMARC protocol because it helps protect your domain from unauthorized use. Please check out our step-by-step guide for details on how to add this record to your domain’s DNS.

    After have checked your doc I had set it and I asked an opinion to my hosting provider about it, and what mail I should have used in Value/Content rua. They said me:

    —————————————————————————

    As you can see you are currently only missing a DMARC record, which is not absolutely essential for deliverability success, especially when you are utilizing the SpamExperts service with us:
    psytrance-pro.com. TXT 7200 “v=spf1 include:spf.antispamcloud.com -all”

    In order to verify this, I have re-added a DMARC Record to your Zone Editor in order to see how a DMARC Record would look like if I added an Email to it, as I believe the default DMARC does not use one. Of course, I do not believe that it is necessary, as the DMARC record may quarantine or reject some emails and the “rua=mailto:” email content would be the email the emails go to when rejected/quarantined. Most of the clients do not utilize the option of sending these quarantined or rejected emails to an email address to avoid spam.`

    —————————————————————————

    I’d like to hear your opinion too now since I’m not an expert.

    Thanks in advance for the support

    Hi @doctor-doubledrop,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Yes, they are correct. Setting up a DMARC record is not mandatory, but it’s good to have on your domain.

    DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance) is an email validation system designed to protect your company’s email domain from being used for email spoofing, phishing scams, and other cybercrimes.

    For more details about DMARC and how to set it up, please check out our article here: https://wpmailsmtp.com/how-to-create-dmarc-record

    I hope this helps. Thanks!
