DNS Verification — e-securemail Dashboard
Category: Administration · e-securemail
Target Audience: System Administrators
Level: Monitoring & Diagnostics
Overview
As soon as you log in to the e-securemail administration console, the homepage displays a DNS verification panel for the selected domain.
This panel provides an at-a-glance view of the status of the DNS records essential for your email deliverability:
| Record | Role |
|---|---|
| MX | Defines which servers handle your incoming emails |
| SPF | Specifies which servers are authorized to send emails on your behalf |
| DKIM | Applies a cryptographic signature to each outgoing email |
| DMARC | Defines the handling policy for non-compliant emails |
| BIMI (optional) | Displays your organization’s logo in compatible email clients |
Understanding the Indicators
Each record displays a color-coded status:
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ✅ Green | Record detected and valid |
| ⚠️ Orange | Record present but incomplete or incorrect |
| ❌ Red | Record missing or invalid |
🎯 The goal is to have all indicators green. An orange or red status indicates a risk of outgoing emails being rejected or classified as spam.
Why These Records Are Essential
When using e-securemail as the routing relay for your outbound mail flow, these records are not optional — they directly determine whether your emails are properly delivered to recipients.
Without them:
Your emails may be rejected by recipient mail servers
Your emails may end up in spam folders
Your domain may be more easily spoofed
What to Do if a Record Is Orange or Red
Identify the affected record (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc.)
Log in to your registrar’s DNS management interface (OVH, Gandi, Cloudflare, etc.)
Create or correct the missing record by following the corresponding guide
Return to the dashboard — the verification updates automatically
⏱️ DNS propagation may take up to 24 hours after modification. A record may temporarily remain red immediately after being created.
