What each screen checks and what to do when it is not green. Every numbered section on a page links to its topic here.

Overview

Health checks

Six checks, the worst of them is the postmark. ok needs nothing; warn still delivers mail but will stop doing so if ignored; fail means mail is being lost or refused now.

TLS certificate

The certificate Postfix presents on 465 and 587. It warns 14 days before expiry and fails once expired — clients that verify certificates then refuse to connect.

Hostname and reverse DNS

The hostname must resolve to this server's address, and that address must resolve back to the hostname. Large receivers reject or spam-folder mail from hosts where the two disagree. The PTR record is set at your hosting provider, not in your DNS zone.

Outbound

DNS records

DKIM proves the message was signed by this relay, SPF lists the addresses allowed to send for the domain, DMARC tells receivers what to do when both fail and where to report. Publish all three exactly as shown; merge SPF into an existing record rather than adding a second one.

Applications

An application is one SASL login. It may send as any address of its domain or only as listed addresses. The password is shown once at creation or regeneration and is not stored in readable form.

Rate limits

Level 1 is a per-IP ceiling set in .env. Level 2 is optional, per domain and per application, manual or computed from 30-day statistics, and can never exceed level 1.
