Settings

Testing
- https://www.mail-tester.com/
- Three free tests per day
DNS
- Edit your zone. In my case, I migrated to CloudFlare, which required updating
Old Notes
DNS
- DomainPeople - ran into some DKIM setup issues, most likely due to my inexperience with the source & destination
- Testing Cloudflare DNS - may swap back to DomainPeople if I can sort the DKIM item
- It could be that I'm in a pending status with DNS:
- Check this out -> https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/
- Updated Nameservers this morning at DP using info here and in the DNS settings page as well. The nslookup results appear promising. Waiting for CF to update after the change.
- and there's an email from CF! Congratulations! You have successfully activated mikebeane.com.
Checks
Verify Nameservers
nslookup -querytype=ns (domain)
Verify Start of Authority
nslookup -querytype=soa (domain)
Check txt (SPF)
nslookup -type=txt (domain)
Check txt (DKIM)
nslookup -type=txt x._domainkey.(domain) 1.1.1.1
- Getting error on this return, probably the root of my issue
Check txt (DMARC)
nslookup -type=txt _dmarc.(domain) 1.1.1.1
- Getting error on this return as well
Quick List
nslookup -querytype=ns (domain) nslookup -querytype=soa (domain) nslookup -type=txt (domain) nslookup -type=txt x._domainkey.(domain) 1.1.1.1 nslookup -type=txt _dmarc.(domain) 1.1.1.1
Thunderbird
- Been awhile since we've done this...
- Google Takeout .mbox integration has gone well
