# DMARC Record Construction

At the beginning of the record, <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">v=DMARC1</span> identifies this as a DMARC record. The following components define the policy and action if failed. Create a TXT record with <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">\_dmarc</span> as the host.

Example

```generic
v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:<DMARC Report Address>; ruf=mailto:<DMARC Failure Report Address>; adkim=r; aspf=r; fo=0; sp=reject; pct=100; ri=604800
```
