AWeber DMARC: The Ultimate Guide to Secure Email Deliverability 🚀

Are your AWeber emails landing in spam? DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) is the key to ensuring your emails reach the inbox. In this guide, we’ll walk you through AWeber DMARC setup, best practices, and troubleshooting to maximize email deliverability.

What Is AWeber DMARC and Why Does It Matter?

DMARC is an email authentication protocol that prevents spoofing and phishing by verifying that emails sent from your domain are legitimate. When using AWeber, setting up DMARC correctly ensures:

✅ Higher inbox placement (less spam filtering)
✅ Protection against email fraud (phishing & spoofing)
✅ Detailed reports on email authentication failures

Without DMARC, your emails may be marked as spam or even blocked by ISPs like Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook.

How to Set Up AWeber DMARC (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Verify Your Domain in AWeber

Before configuring DMARC, you must authenticate your domain in AWeber:

1. Log in to your AWeber account
2. Go to Account > Sender Domains
3. Click “Add a Domain” and follow the DNS verification steps

2. Set Up SPF & DKIM (Prerequisites for DMARC)

DMARC relies on SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail).

• SPF tells email providers which servers can send emails from your domain.
• DKIM adds a digital signature to verify email authenticity.

AWeber automatically provides DKIM records, but you may need to update your SPF record to include:

v=spf1 include:_spf.aweber.com ~all

⚠️ Warning: If you're using multiple email services (like Gmail or another SMTP), ensure they're all included in your SPF record to avoid authentication failures.

3. Create a DMARC Record

Add a TXT record in your domain’s DNS settings with the following format:

_dmarc.yourdomain.com. IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:youremail@yourdomain.com"

• p=none (Monitoring mode – no enforcement)
• p=quarantine (Suspicious emails go to spam)
• p=reject (Blocks unauthenticated emails)

Start with p=none to monitor reports before enforcing stricter policies.

4. Analyze DMARC Reports

DMARC sends aggregate (RUA) and forensic (RUF) reports to your email. Use tools like:

• DMARC Analyzer
• Google Postmaster Tools
• Third-party DMARC report parsers

These reports help identify authentication failures and unauthorized senders.

Best Practices for AWeber DMARC Success

1. Start with p=none – Monitor reports before enforcing strict policies.
2. Gradually increase enforcement – Move to p=quarantine or p=reject after fixing issues.
3. Check SPF & DKIM regularly – Ensure no conflicts with other email services.
4. Use dedicated subdomains – Separate marketing emails from transactional ones.
5. Review DMARC reports monthly – Identify unauthorized senders and authentication failures.
