What does my sending domain status mean?
When you create a business email at your custom domain, we add DKIM, SPF and DMARC records automatically and immediately.
There are several authentication statuses that you can see for your sending domain under
Emails and domains > Email addresses:
- Unconfirmed – any domain with an email address which hasn’t been confirmed in your mailbox.
- Not authenticated – a custom domain without DKIM configured or with pending DKIM authentication.
In order to authenticate your domain, click Complete authentication and follow the steps from the pop-up modal.
- Authenticated – a custom domain with DKIM authentication completed successfully.
- DMARC warning – a custom domain with DMARC implemented, but without DKIM configured, which affects deliverability in a negative way.
In order to authenticate your domain, click Complete authentication and follow the steps from the pop-up modal.
- Not recommended – public domains with no DMARC, like Gmail, Hotmail, Msn, Yandex, Googlemail, which can’t be authenticated with DKIM.
They can be used, but messages sent through such domains have higher changes to land in spam folder.
- Can’t be used – public domains with DMARC implemented, like Yahoo, Aol, Mailru.
They cannot be used as FROM fields.
- Expired – a custom domain which has already expired.
