To check the domains configured in your org, use Developer Console. See Get a List of Your Verified Email-Sending Domains.

  1. From Setup, use the Quick Find box to find and select Deliverability.
  2. In the Domain Verification section, for Email-sending domain, enter your domain, such as example.com or sub-domain.example.com.
  3. Click Check Verification.

    The results are shown below the domain name.

    Here’s an example of the result when the domain requires verification.

    Result when a domain isn’t verified.

    And here’s an example of the result when the domain is verified.

    Result when a domain is verified.

Your domain’s status is one of these values.

  • Domain Verified: Salesforce can send user-authored and system-generated emails from this domain. The results show the specific verification method.
  • Domain Not Verified: Email delivery fails for user-authored and system-generated emails with this domain in the From address, regardless of whether the email address is verified.

    To send email from this domain, add an active DKIM key or a verified authorized email domain.

  • Domain Temporarily Exempted: Salesforce added this domain to a temporary allowlist of email-sending domains that were previous used in this org. To know when that allowlist expires in your org, see Mandatory Sending-Email Domain Verification Timeline.

    To continue sending email from this domain, add an active DKIM key or a verified authorized email domain.

  • Domain Exempted: Salesforce can use this domain in the From address to send user-authored and system-generated emails. Because this is a Salesforce-owned or public email service domain, it doesn't require an active DKIM key or a verified authorized email domain.
