DMARC is an email authentication policy designed to help you protect you domain from being spoofed.

Actually that's a very specific company's way to add it
Most of us have cPanel, and the way to do this is go into the Zone Records:
https://www.namecheap.com/support/kn...for-my-domain/
(someone out there on the web recommended TTL at 3600)

Free tool to check to see if your host already gave you a DMARC policy, I just found out that Namecheap added one for me: https://mxtoolbox.com/DMARC.aspx

For our cold email campaigns, which send 100,000+ cold emails per acct each month, we've stopped using Namecheap.

We discovered that a lot of the domains were blacklisted before we even sent a single email, despite having the three email security protocols (DMARC, SPF, and DKIM) correctly set up.

Important to know that these were also all new domains that had not even been created before.

Now we buy our domains from GoDaddy. Although it's slightly more expensive, we experience zero headaches.

Most Hosting companies provide access to Advanced DNS Records - some add automatically - but not the DMARC Email Address which has to be added manually.

Where you purchase domains is not the issue - Purchasing Expired Domains that is a different story
(Not difficult to generate new domain names - consider using the new gTLD's. ) if a relevant .com is not available

I recommend using sub-domains for Landing Pages - others have a different opinion.

Also look at your DNS Records

CNAME Records - Look at your domain Keys
TXT Records - should have Multiple DMARC Records

My primary company email address was actually added.
Truth is, now that I think about it, I might have done it myself, but I don't remember doing it, because of which email addresses was being used.
However, they recommend that people use a fresh email address because it's a publicly available one that might attract spam.

Re: Ed. I had the same experience with Namecheap actually, and I ended up buying a dedicated IP and worked to get it un-blacklisted. Cost me $24/year for multiple domains. But then again, I don't send out 100,000 emails.

We've purchased thousands of domains for cold email... and we used to use NameCheap as our main vendor.

That is until they had a blacklisted server that affected our NEW (never created before, or registered, or expired) domains. This happened to other agencies we're aware of in our space too.

This was about 2 years ago, so hopefully they've corrected it.

From then on we only use GoDaddy, no issues.

Was that an issue of doing marketing emails from your own primary domain, or using Namecheap's shared email servers for its webhosting clients?
