Publishing a DMARC record is the first step in deploying DMARC.

To create a DMARC record, [use the dmarcian DMARC Wizard](https://dmarcian.com/dmarc-tools-2/dmarc-inspector/). When you have the text of your DMARC record at your fingertips, follow these steps:

- Log in to your DNS management console.
- Navigate to the domain where you’ll be publishing a DMARC record.
- Most DNS management consoles will ask for:
  - Hostname: this should be `_dmarc` . NOTE: the leading “underbar” character is required!
  - Resource type: this is `TXT` , as DMARC records are published in the DNS as `TXT` resources.
  - Value: this is the DMARC record itself, of the form `v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=...`

- Save and you’re done.

The results of doing the above will allow email receivers to query the DNS for your DMARC record at a location of `_dmarc.your-domain.com` .

Hi, thanks for your support. I did the same yesterday but still I am receiving “DMARC record not found”

Is there specific needed time to be active?  
Is there anything else need to be added?  
Thanks in advance

It looks like you have two records published.

Here is the output from the dmarc inspector. As you can see there are two dmarc records for the domain.  
The first looks to contain syntax errors in the email address. It will stop the second record having any effect
