Adding a DNS record at Amazon Route 53
First make sure Amazon Route 53 actually serves your DNS: records only work where your domain's nameservers point. If your domain is registered here but uses another company's nameservers, add the records there instead.
- Open Hosted zones and choose your domain.
- Click Create record, enter the record name (for DMARC: _dmarc) and choose type TXT or CNAME.
- For TXT, paste the value in quotes, e.g. "v=DMARC1; ...". Split values longer than 255 characters (such as 2048-bit DKIM keys) into several quoted strings: "part1" "part2".
- Create the record.
Only one DMARC record may exist per domain. If _dmarc already has one, edit it instead of adding a second.
Changes usually appear within an hour, longer if an old record had a long TTL. Then check your domain.
Steps are typical; menus change. If something doesn't match, check Amazon Route 53's own help pages.
