Crucial Steps After Setting Up Cloudflare DMARC Authentication
1. Use our free DMARC checker tool. It may take between 24-72 hours for the record to be reflected in your DNS.
2. Start with a "none" DMARC policy and actively monitor your Cloudflare DMARC reports.
3. You can let us help you shift to DMARC "reject" so you can start your journey of combatting cyberattackers without risking deliverability using our DMARC analyzer tool.
