Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC)
You can use several tools to review the settings of DNS records relating to DKIM, SPF, and DMARC. Built-in command line tools like dig and nslookup can help you diagnose your MX records and other common routing issues.Online tools like MXToolBox and DNSChecker can also analyze settings related to authentication standards and are helpful in identifying misconfigurations or changes needed in your email settings.
The tools above are not maintained by or affiliated with Auth0.
If you use Microsoft 365 Exchange Online as your email provider, your emails may be quarantined if Exchange deems them as high risk. This can happen when emails route from an outside source.If Exchange quarantines messages, an administrator can view the messages in a special inbox and determine if there is a DMARC alignment failure, causing the messages to appear as spam.
If you use SendGrid as your email provider, your emails may be suppressed if the recipient’s email server rejects the message. To learn more, read Different Types of Suppression in SendGrid Docs.In certain cases, SendGrid will drop a message to a specific email address in order to protect your sender reputation.If you are using passwordless authentication with email, ensure that the From email address value for your connection matches the From email address value you’re using for SendGrid.
If you review your custom email provider settings and ensure your domain implements DKIM, SPF, and DMARC protocols and your email delivery is still failing, you may need to contact the Auth0 support team for review.Our support team can verify if your email provider receives messages and the error returned if they are not accepted.
