Dedicated Sending Domains

What a Dedicated Sending Domain Is

A dedicated sending domain is a domain used only for sending emails.
Using one improves:

  • Inbox placement

  • Sender reputation

  • Control over tracking and authentication


Benefits of a Dedicated Domain

  • Isolation from other senders

  • Better visibility into deliverability issues

  • Domain-specific tracking controls


Dedicated IPs

What Dedicated IPs Do

Dedicated IPs allow high-volume senders to:

  • Isolate their sending reputation

  • Avoid reputation impact from shared senders

This option is recommended for accounts sending large email volumes.


Email Tracking at the Domain Level

What Tracking Controls

Tracking settings apply per sending domain, not per campaign.


Open Tracking

  • Enabled by default

  • Adds a tracking pixel to outgoing emails

  • Used for open-rate analytics


Click Tracking

  • Enabled by default

  • Rewrites links to measure clicks

  • Used for engagement reporting


How to Change Tracking Settings

  1. Go to SMTP Service.

  2. Open Dedicated Domain and IP.

  3. Select the domain.

  4. Open Domain Settings.

  5. Toggle Open Tracking or Click Tracking.


Tracking Update Delay

Changes may take up to 15 minutes to apply across outgoing emails.


Deliverability Best Practices (Quick Reference)

  • Use a dedicated sending domain

  • Verify sender email addresses

  • Monitor bounce classifications

  • Avoid replying outside Kyrios if tracking matters

  • Keep tracking enabled unless compliance requires otherwise
