   • Host:
     _dmarc
   • Value:
     v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:rua-import-xxxx@sendforensics.com
     [Notes: replace rua-import-xxxx@sendforensics.com with your own unique SendForensics RUA processing address which can be found in Domain Settings for your domain.]
   • TTL:
     60 (1 minute - so that you do not need to wait too long before verifying)
7. Click on the Save all changes button.
8. Wait for a few minutes, then you can verify that you have the correct record entered in Domain Settings for your domain.

Option 2 - If your domain is pointed to Namecheap Web Hosting DNS.

   • TTL:
     60 (1 minute - so that you do not need to wait too long before verifying)
