Domain setup test is failing

Diagnose missing MX, SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records.

Overview

A failed domain test means Outlio cannot verify one or more required records yet.

Recommended workflow

1

Read which record is missing.

2

Confirm you are editing the active DNS host.

3

Check host/name fields for duplication.

4

Wait for DNS propagation.

5

Retest and compare with provider instructions.

Tips that make this work better

Tip

Nameservers tell you where DNS is managed.

Tip

SPF must be one merged TXT record.

Tip

DKIM host names are provider-specific.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Editing registrar DNS while Cloudflare controls nameservers.
  • Adding records to a subdomain instead of the root domain.

Done well, this should leave you with

A cleaner Outlio setup, fewer avoidable campaign issues, and a more reliable path from setup to replies.
