Overview
Email Domain is where you register your own sending domain so the platform emails Turris sends on your behalf (agency invitations, compliance notifications, document requests) arrive from your brand instead of the default turrisfi.com address. Sending from your own domain raises recipient trust, improves inbox placement, and keeps every agency-facing message consistent with the rest of your communications.
What is Email Domain?
Email Domain lets you swap the default turrisfi.com sender for a custom domain you control, prove ownership by publishing a short list of DNS records, and watch the platform confirm the domain automatically. Once the domain is verified, every outbound email goes out under the From address you chose during setup.
Who uses it. Administrators and IT or compliance leads at carriers, MGAs, and wholesalers, usually working alongside whoever manages the organization's DNS (an internal IT administrator or an external DNS provider).
Key capabilities:
Register a custom sending domain such as
mail.yourcompany.comso platform emails go out under your brand.See the exact DNS records you need to publish at your DNS provider in one copy-friendly table.
Watch verification status update on its own as records propagate, with no manual polling and no verify button to press.
View the full From address that outgoing emails will use once the domain is verified.
Remove the domain in one click to revert to the default Turris-branded sender.
Accessing Email Domain
Email Domain lives inside the global Settings modal rather than on its own page, so you can open it from anywhere in the platform.
Click the Settings (gear) icon in the left sidebar.
The Settings modal opens with a grouped, searchable sidebar of sections.
Under the Organization group, click Email Domain.
What you see depends on whether a domain has already been registered. In both states, a neutral Email Domain advisory banner sits at the top reminding you that registering a domain replaces the default turrisfi.com sender.
Element | When shown | Description |
Email Domain advisory banner | Always | Reminder that a custom domain replaces the default |
Add Your Domain card | No domain registered | Empty-state card containing the two-field registration form. |
Domain overview card | A domain is registered | Shows the registered domain name, its Region, the current status badge, and a remove (trash) icon. |
DNS Records table | A domain is registered and the provider has returned records | Lists every record you must publish at your DNS provider. |
How to configure your DNS records card | Domain registered but not yet verified | Four-step quick guide to publishing the records. |
Important propagation notice | Domain registered but not yet verified | Reminder that verification runs automatically and propagation can take up to about an hour. |
Custom Email Address card | Domain status is Verified | Shows the full From address outgoing emails now use, with a click-to-copy control. |
Note: Email Domain is a premium feature gated by your subscription. If your organization is not yet a Turris customer, the page shows a Become a Turris Customer prompt (with Request Access and Contact Support options) in place of the configuration. If you are a customer but your plan does not include Email Domain, the page shows an Insufficient Subscription notice. The Email Domain entry itself always appears in the Settings sidebar.
Registering a Custom Email Domain
When you'd do this. You want outbound emails from Turris to come from your own brand rather than turrisfi.com. Registering a domain is a one-time setup, and only one email domain is allowed per organization.
Open Settings (gear icon) → Email Domain under the Organization group.
If no domain has been registered yet, the Add Your Domain card is shown. Fill in the form:
Field | Required | Description |
Domain Name | Yes | The domain (usually a dedicated subdomain) you want emails sent from. Example: |
Custom Email Address | Yes | The full From address outgoing emails will use. Must be a complete, valid email address; a bare username such as |
Click Add Domain. The button stays disabled until both fields are filled and the email address is valid.
A green Domain Added confirmation appears: "Your email domain has been registered. Please add the DNS records to verify it." Behind the scenes, Turris registers the domain with the email provider, immediately triggers verification, and stores the domain in Pending Verification status.
The page reloads into the registered-domain view: the domain overview card at the top, the DNS Records table below it, plus the How to configure your DNS records guide and the Important propagation notice.
Tip: Use a dedicated subdomain such as mail. or notify. rather than your root domain. Platform email stays isolated from day-to-day company mail, and DNS changes for the subdomain cannot affect your executives' inboxes.
Note: Only one email domain can be registered per organization. If a domain already exists, or if the domain name you enter is already registered by another organization, registration is blocked and the page shows an error explaining why. Remove the existing domain before registering a new one.
Publishing Your DNS Records
When you'd do this. Right after registering, you need to publish the listed DNS records at your DNS provider so the email provider can confirm you own the domain. There is no verify button in Turris: once the records are live, verification completes on its own.
In the DNS Records table, note each record's Type, Name, and Value.
Log in to your DNS provider (for example Cloudflare, Route 53, GoDaddy, or Namecheap).
Open the DNS management section for the registered domain.
Add each record exactly as listed. Use the copy icon on each Name and Value cell to avoid transcription errors.
Save your DNS changes.
Wait for propagation. This can take anywhere from a few seconds to about an hour, depending on your provider and existing TTLs.
The page updates on its own when verification succeeds: the status badge flips to Verified, the instruction cards disappear, and the Custom Email Address card appears. The status also refreshes each time you reopen the page.
Tip: If you do not manage DNS yourself, send the records to whoever does. The copy controls make it easy to paste each value straight into a DNS provider console or a support ticket.
DNS Records Table
The DNS Records table lists every record the email provider generated for your domain. These records are fetched live from the provider each time you open the page, so the table always reflects the current configuration. It appears as soon as the domain is registered and stays visible after verification.
The line above the table changes with the domain's state: while unverified it reads "Add the following DNS records to your domain provider to verify ownership," and once verified it reads "Your domain has been verified. These DNS records are active."
Column | Description |
Type | DNS record type, such as |
Name | The host name to add at your DNS provider. Click to copy the exact string. |
Value | The value the record must return. Shown in monospace; click to copy the exact string. |
TTL | Time-to-live supplied by the provider. Shows a dash when none is provided, in which case your provider's default TTL is fine. |
Priority | Shown only when at least one record requires a priority (such as an MX record). Hidden entirely on setups with no priority records. |
Status | Per-record state: |
Warning: DNS values are case-sensitive, and a single missing or altered character is the most common cause of failed verification. Always use the copy icons rather than retyping the values.
Custom Email Address (Once Verified)
When the domain reaches Verified, a Custom Email Address card appears below the DNS Records table with the message "Outgoing emails will be sent from this address." It shows the full From address platform emails now use (for example info@mail.yourcompany.com). Use the click-to-copy control to share it with your team or drop it into support documentation.
Note: The custom email address is captured at registration and is not edited from this page. To change the From address after verification, remove the domain and register it again with the new address.
Removing the Domain
When you'd do this. You are switching to a different sending domain, retiring the brand the domain represents, or deliberately reverting to the default Turris sender while troubleshooting deliverability. Removal takes effect immediately.
Open Settings (gear icon) → Email Domain under the Organization group.
In the domain overview card at the top, find the remove (trash) icon on the right edge, next to the status badge.
Click the trash icon. It switches to a loading state while removal completes.
A green Domain Removed confirmation appears: "Email domain has been removed. Emails will be sent from the default turrisfi.com domain."
The page returns to the empty state with the Add Your Domain form ready for a new registration.
Warning: Removal is immediate and cannot be undone. To use the same domain again you must register it and republish the DNS records. Any records left at your provider do no harm but stop affecting platform email until the domain is re-registered.
Domain Status and Indicators
The badge on the domain overview card reflects the overall verification state. Each per-record badge in the DNS Records table follows the same color logic at the record level.
Color | Label | Meaning | What to do about it |
Gray (neutral) | DNS Records Required | The domain is registered but no DNS records have been detected yet at your provider. | Publish the records from the DNS Records table at your DNS provider. |
Yellow | Pending Verification | Records have been detected and the provider is confirming them. | Wait for propagation (a few seconds up to about an hour). The page refreshes on its own. |
Green | Verified | All records are confirmed and outgoing emails now use your custom domain. | No action needed. Use the Custom Email Address shown on the page as your branded From line. |
Red | Verification Failed | One or more records could not be verified. | Compare each record at your provider against the DNS Records table and correct any mismatch. The platform re-checks automatically as records change. |
While the domain is in any non-verified state, two helper cards appear: a How to configure your DNS records guide with the four publishing steps, and an Important notice reminding you that verification is automatic and propagation can take up to about an hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I register a custom email domain? Outgoing platform emails default to turrisfi.com. Registering your own domain means recipients see emails coming from your brand, which improves trust, recognition, and inbox placement.
Do I have to register my main company domain? No. Most organizations register a dedicated subdomain such as mail.yourcompany.com so platform email is clearly separate from internal mail and DNS changes do not affect day-to-day company email.
What do I enter in the Custom Email Address field? The complete From address you want on outgoing emails, such as info@mail.yourcompany.com. The form validates it as an email address and will not submit a bare username.
How long does verification take? DNS propagation can take anywhere from a few seconds to about an hour, depending on your provider and existing TTLs. The status updates on its own once verification succeeds, and refreshes whenever you reopen the page.
Why is my domain still showing DNS Records Required after I added the records? The records have not propagated yet, or one or more do not match the table exactly. Recheck each record's Type, Name, and Value at your provider, and use the copy icons to eliminate typing mistakes.
What happens if verification fails? The badge turns red and reads Verification Failed. Compare each record at your provider against the table and correct any mismatch. The platform re-checks automatically as records change.
Do I need to click a verify button? No. Verification starts automatically the moment the domain is registered and continues until the provider confirms every record. The page updates as the status changes.
Can I change the custom email address after the domain is verified? Not from this page. Remove the domain and register it again with the new address.
What happens to emails when I remove the domain? Future emails immediately fall back to turrisfi.com as the From address. Emails already sent are unaffected.
Do I need to add an MX record? Only if your DNS Records table includes one. The list is generated by the provider for your specific setup, so publish exactly what is listed and nothing more.
Why don't I see the Add Domain button or the remove icon? Those controls appear only for members whose role grants permission to manage email domain settings. A read-only member can open the page and view the DNS records but will not see the Add Domain button or the remove (trash) icon. Contact your administrator if you need that access.
Best Practices
Use a dedicated subdomain. Register a subdomain such as
mail.ornotify.so platform email does not share DNS authority with critical mailboxes like your executives' inboxes.Lower DNS TTLs before changes. If you expect to iterate on the records, lower the TTL at your provider a day in advance so updates propagate faster while you tune the setup.
Copy values, never retype. DNS values are case-sensitive and any missing character will fail verification. Always use the copy icons on the Name and Value cells.
Troubleshoot one record at a time. The per-record statuses in the DNS Records table show exactly which records are still outstanding, so focus on those rows rather than rechecking the whole list.
Coordinate with whoever owns your DNS. If your IT team or an external provider manages DNS, share the records table with them; the copy controls make it trivial to paste values into a console or a ticket.
Keep the domain after activation. Removal is immediate and reverts to
turrisfi.com. Only remove the domain when switching sending domains or as a deliberate fallback during deliverability troubleshooting.
