How do I verify my DMARC records are working?

Question

How do you verify DMARC records are working?

Answer

1. Log in to the server via SSH or WHM's Terminal as the root user

2. Run the following command:

   # dig _dmarc.domain.tld txt +short

   The output that you see may resemble the following if you specify an email to receive aggregate mail reports:

   # dig _dmarc.domain.tld txt +short
   "v=DMARC1\; p=none\; rua=report@domain.tld"

   After confirming the TXT record resolves, you will want to monitor the email address used for the reports to ensure the record is configured correctly.
