Short answer

In GoDaddy: open DNS Management for your domain, Add a TXT record with Name _dmarc and value v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected], and save. Monitor reports, then change p=none to enforcement.

Then enforce

Leave it at p=none while you authenticate senders via the aggregate reports, then edit the record to p=quarantine and finally p=reject.
