DMARC
DMARC Record Parser
Paste a DMARC TXT record, or enter a domain and we will pull it from DNS for you. Every tag is broken down with what it does and how it affects mail.

How this tool works
What the parser is actually doing
- 1
It finds the record
A DMARC policy is a single TXT record published at
_dmarc.yourdomain.com. The parser pulls it from DNS, or accepts one you paste. The lookup runs on our server, so a flaky local resolver or a captive portal will not quietly change the result. - 2
It splits the tags
Tags like
p=,rua=andadkim=tell mailbox providers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM and where to send the daily reports. The parser splits the record into its tag list. - 3
It explains each one
In plain English, so you can tell at a glance whether the policy is enforcing anything or only monitoring. It reads the same whether you paste a record or fetch one, so you can test drafts before you publish them.
A record, read the way the parser reads it
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:reports@example.com; adkim=r
When to use it
Reach for it in these moments
Google or Yahoo flagged your sending
It confirms what your domain is publishing today and whether the policy is strong enough to satisfy the bulk-sender requirements.
You just published a first record
At
p=none, it is the fastest way to verify the syntax is clean and your reporting address is reachable.You are checking a vendor
It shows whether they enforce DMARC or only monitor, and whether their reporting is set up to actually catch lookalikes.
You are drafting a new policy
Paste the draft into the text box and read the explanation back before you publish it.
