How To Configure a Zone Template so That Newly Added Accounts and Domains Get a DMARC Record

Question

You may use the following procedure to ensure that newly created accounts and domains get a basic DMARC record by default.

Answer

1. Login to WHM as the root user
2. Navigate to Home / DNS Functions / Edit Zone Templates
3. Click on the Standard template

4. Review the following example DMARC record, customize it to your needs, and then add it to the bottom of the template:

   CONFIG_TEXT: _dmarc.%domain% IN TXT v=DMARC1\;p=quarantine\;sp=none\;adkim=r\;aspf=r\;pct=100\;fo=0\;rf=afrf\;ri=86400\;rua=mailto:dmarc\@%domain%\;ruf=mailto:dmarc\@%domain%

5. Click the blue Save button

Whenever you create a new account or domain, it will have the above DMARC record added to it.
