Fix the invalid DMARC record on Cloudflare

Why it matters

Receivers ignore a DMARC record they cannot parse, so no policy applies even though a record exists. The scan shows what did not parse.

The fix

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard open DNS > Records, find the TXT record named _dmarc and choose Edit.
2. Replace the Content with a valid record (see the snippet), without typing quotation marks. Save.

Type:     TXT
Name:     _dmarc.example.com
Content:  v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@example.com

The examples use example.com. Replace it with your own domain.
