Domain sends mail but can't receive bounces

Check id: mx.missing_but_sends · fix effort: medium

What it means

Your domain sends email but can't receive any. Bounces, replies, and DMARC reports all go nowhere, and that hurts your sending reputation.

The technical detail

SPF or DKIM indicate outbound mail but there's no MX and no null MX. Undeliverable bounce handling drags deliverability down.

How to fix it

  1. Add MX records if the domain should receive mail.
  2. If it's send-only by design, publish a null MX (0 .) and use a reply-to on another domain. but be aware some receivers penalize send-only domains.
