DMARC CNAME points nowhere
CODE REDWhat it means
_dmarc.example.com is a CNAME to example.net, and nothing resolves there. This is the real reason your DMARC looks missing, the delegation is broken, not the policy.
How to fix it
Fix or remove the CNAME so _dmarc.example.com reaches a valid DMARC TXT record.
Check your own domain
This page describes the condition. To find out whether your domain has it, run the DMARC test or the full checkup, which examines every record at once.
Understand it properly
This page covers one condition. For the whole picture, The DMARC guide, from a first record to enforcement, or start at the Health Library.
Where this comes from
We judge this against RFC 9989 section 4.5. Every finding on this site cites the specification behind it so you can check the work rather than take our word for it.
Other DMARC conditions
DMARC_CNAME_BROKEN
Every fix on this site is yours to implement. If you would rather someone did it, I take this work directly.
