Email Authentication

To configure cloud-based DMARC, DKIM and SPF management you will need to first configure Patronum to receive respective DMARC Aggregate and Forensic reports.

Before configuring DMARC you must have SPF and DKIM enabled.
See "[Help prevent spoofing, phishing, and spam](https://support.google.com/a/topic/9061731)" in the Google help section.

This is done by first selecting the CONFIGURE button.

Patronum - Email Authentication

Enter the domain you wish to set up, typically your primary email domain.

DMARC domain to set up

Once set up add the _dmarc TXT record to your DNS

Your DNS entry may look something like this:-
Type: TXT
Name: _dmarc
Value: v=DMARC1; p=none; pct=100; fo=1; ri=3600; rua=mailto:321793f4@inbox.ondmarc.com; ruf=mailto:321793f4@inbox.ondmarc.com;

As you become more confident that your email is correctly set up you should change the DMARC Policy, the p=, from none to quarantine and ultimately reject.
