Enable Sending

Sending allows mailbox users and API integrations to send from the domain.

Activate Sending

Sending requires receiving to be active first. Arawa Mail uses Cloudflare to add the DNS records outbound delivery needs.

When you click Activate sending, Arawa Mail:

1. Creates or retrieves the outbound email identity for the domain.
2. Adds DKIM CNAME records to Cloudflare.
3. Configures a custom MAIL FROM domain.
4. Adds MAIL FROM MX and SPF records in Cloudflare.
5. Marks the domain as ready for outbound email.

If no active Cloudflare connection is available, Arawa Mail sends you through the Cloudflare authorization flow first.

Outbound sending is only available when the Arawa Mail server has sending credentials configured.

Sending Status

A domain is considered sending-active when outbound delivery is enabled for it. If sending is inactive, mailbox sending and HTTP API sending from that domain will fail.

API Sending

HTTP API sending uses the same domain checks as mailbox sending. The from domain must be registered, allowed by the API key, and enabled for outbound email.

Laravel applications can use the official Composer integration without manually calling the HTTP API. See the Laravel quickstart.
