Can we disable force use of tracking domain?

[xRed]

Hi,

I am trying to install smtp but after testing it on mail-tester I got 3.8/10 score and few errors basically saying my sending domain doesn't match my SMTP domain.

[SPF] 123.com does not allow your server 11.122.133.144 to use [email protected]

We didn't find a mail server (MX Record) behind your domain name 123.com


Here lets say my SMTP domain is xyz.com so I want this node to use this domain only, I am unable to understand why are we forced to add a tracking domain when adding SMTP.


I've added that 123.com tracking domain only because without one tracking domain its not possible to add any SMTP, this wasn't the case in Classic mumara.

The thing is I want to use same domain as in SMTP as sending and tracking domain and not any other custom domain.


Imagine having 50 SMTP sending from same domain or only from a set of bunch of tracking domains, all the domains would be blacklisted in no time.

The tracking domain is used to mask your hyperlinks and image source URLs with the sending domain. You can say it branding the URLs inside email content. The tracking domain has nothing to do with headers or authentication scores. If you don't want Mumara to brand your hyperlinks inside email content, you can simply turn it off in the Sending Domain and the hyperlinks will be replaced with Mumara Primary domain (if tracking is enabled while scheduling). However, just to let you know, you can use a single sending/tracking domain for any number of sending nodes.

And the issues you mentioned above, seems to be related to your SPF record behind the return-path domain and MX record for the mail-from domain that you need to fix by adding an SPF value and configuring MX record.

Yes sorry I misunderstood Sending and Tracking domain, I thought both were same.

I got that error because I added a random domain as sending domain, instead I should've added that particular SMTP domain correct? because SFP, DKIM etc is setup on that domain only.



BTW, about "Sender email", when I create my SMTP on my vps I setup only one email as sender email "[email protected]" so here in mumara when setting up the sending node if I use "[email protected]" will there be any delivery or authentication issues? I don't want the ISP's to think I am sending from a non authorized or invalid email.


Thanks for all your replies


Edit: Is it a good idea to use same tracking domain for all SMTPs? I thought there might be blacklisting issue?

In order to use different email addresses for the same domain, it's better to have a catch-all/default email set for that specific domain in your server/cpanel. So it will redirect all emails coming to those email addresses, to the catch-all email address and you don't lose the deliverability.

And regarding your other question, it's better to have multiple sending domains.

Thanks.

Btw I asked about Sending domains, not tracking domains. Both are different correct?

The tracking domain is a further subdomain of the sending domain. Tracking domains are used to mask/brand the hyperlinks within your HTML email content, however sending domain will be used in Sender info i.e. FROM: [email protected]
