Get started with Mailglo

Mailglo shows which services send email as your domain, whether that mail passes authentication as receiving mail servers report it, and helps you fix SPF, DKIM and DMARC with changes you approve. This guide takes a new account to its first reports.

Add your domain

Open Domains in the workspace. With no domains yet, the page starts with Add your first domain. Your own domains need no client record: every account has a workspace for its own domains. If you manage domains for other organizations, add those from Client management instead, after recording each client's authorization. To look at any domain's public records without adding it, use the public check at /check.

Make the DNS changes, activate, wait for reports

The domain page shows three setup steps and keeps your place if you leave:

1. Make the DNS changes: Mailglo reads your domain's DNS and lists every record to change, with what DNS shows now and the complete value to use, so you edit DNS once. This includes one TXT record that proves you control the domain and Mailglo's report address in your DMARC record; your existing report recipients and settings stay. Then choose I've made these changes — check now.
2. Activate monitoring: the domain counts toward your plan. The free plan holds one domain.
3. Wait for the first report: receivers start sending once your DMARC record names Mailglo.

What to expect

Receivers send reports about once a day, each covering the day before. Until the first report arrives, results show as unknown, not as passing. DNS checks show what is published; reports show what receivers saw.

What you do, and what Mailglo does

• You publish the records Mailglo shows you at your DNS provider or registrar, and Mailglo checks them.
• For each service that sends for you, such as a newsletter tool, Mailglo gives the setup steps and names the setting to change. You change it in that service.
• Mailglo works from DNS and receiver reports. Your mailboxes and the mail you send stay with your own providers.

What your DNS host needs

• Mailglo-hosted records need a DNS host that can publish CNAME records at underscore names such as _dmarc. Where it can't, reports and the records you publish yourself still work.
• Long SPF or DKIM records need a DNS host that stores TXT values of at least 255 characters per string.
• Reports come from receivers that send aggregate DMARC reports; Mailglo shows what they report.
