How to monitor sending domains

Keep sending domain infrastructure healthy — authentication, reputation, and DNS — continuously.

AgencyDeliverability·6 min read

The situation

Sending domains are more vulnerable than parked domains — they are actively used, more likely to be listed on blacklists, and more likely to be targeted by spoofing attempts.

Before you begin

Sending domains identified and added to Infraova
Sending platforms connected or documented
Alert notifications configured

The operational path

01Identify
02Connect
03Monitor
04Alert
05Triage
06Fix
07Verify

The goal isn't just to find the error. The goal is to move from detection to a verified infrastructure state.

What could have caused this?

Cause

What changed

Possible impact

Authentication gap

SPF, DKIM, or DMARC misconfigured

Deliverability failure

Blacklist listing

Domain or IP listed on a blacklist

Messages rejected by recipients

DNS change

Record modified — authentication broken

Silent sending failure

Step by step

01Identify and tag sending domains

In a portfolio of many domains, sending domains need to be clearly identified so they can be prioritized.

What to check

✓Review all domains and identify which are actively used for email sending
✓Note the sending platforms associated with each domain
✓Prioritize these domains in your monitoring routine
02Connect sending platforms

Connecting the sending platforms to Infraova gives you additional context when issues appear.

What to check

✓Connect the relevant sending platform (Klaviyo, SendGrid, Postmark, etc.)
✓Associate the platform with the monitored domain
✓Confirm the connection is active

With Infraova

With a sending platform connected, Infraova can associate infrastructure changes with the sending environment they affect.

03Confirm authentication monitoring is active

Every sending domain should have SPF, DKIM, and DMARC actively monitored.

What to check

✓Confirm authentication checks are active for the domain
✓Run an authentication audit if not done recently
✓Confirm alerts are enabled for Critical authentication failures
04Monitor blacklist status

Sending domains are more likely to be listed on blacklists. Review blacklist status regularly.

What to check

✓Confirm blacklist monitoring is active for the domain and its sending IPs
✓Review blacklist status in the domain scan results
✓Set up alerts for new blacklist listings

You decide. Infraova executes.

Infraova can propose and execute an approved infrastructure change, but it does not independently decide to modify client infrastructure. Every proposed change requires explicit authorization before execution.

Key takeaway

Sending domains need more attention, not less. Identify them, connect their sending platforms, confirm authentication monitoring, and review blacklist status regularly.
