What each policy does
p=none: collect results without asking receivers to block mail.p=quarantine: ask receivers to treat failing mail as suspicious.p=reject: ask receivers to reject failing mail.
Safe rollout
- Publish one DMARC record at
_dmarc.example.comwith a reporting address you control. - Verify aligned DKIM or SPF for GoDaddy and every other legitimate sender.
- Review reports for unexpected services and forwarding effects.
- Increase enforcement only after legitimate mail consistently passes.
MailFixIt boundary
MailFixIt can validate the public policy and reported alignment. It cannot identify every private sender from DNS alone.
Frequently asked questions
What does MailFixIt check for GoDaddy Email?
It helps compare public DNS evidence with the provider setup path. It does not access the provider account or claim that a DNS result alone proves sending or receiving.
Should I replace all existing DNS records with provider values?
No. Confirm the exact record owner and type, preserve unrelated legitimate services, and change only the record required for the intended mail route.
