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?

First, that was not an issue of sending from primary domain. You should not use your primary domain for anything but hosting your website, because if you email from it (even just basic emailing) and people mark your email as SPAM, then your entire domain could become backlisted and then Google will not trust your domain and in turn not let people/traffic to your site, without a warning to not proceed.

Second, it had nothing to do with sending emails from NameCheap's servers (we don't use them to send from). I never got confirmation from NameCheap as to the source of the problem (they wouldn't admit their fault) but from what I gathered at the time it had to do with where the domain was parked after it was purchased.... those servers were tainted and in turn your domain then becomes blacklisted.... guilty by association.

Hope that helped answer your question.

NameCheap told you a good story - if a domain is parked it will not land on SpamHaus List

Re-read what I wrote, "I never got confirmation from NameCheap as to the source of the problem..."

We know of dozens of colleagues that experienced the same and abfunders independently confirmed the same above.

What do you specialize in Yankeeman07 (business consultant is a broad topic)?

I operate a NOC for many years - so I'm familiar with "Parked Domains" - Parked means they are Registered but, not actually hosted.
