After adding a domain, perform required configurations to finish provisioning the domain. On the Domains screen, any domain missing required configurations is in the Configuration required status, and a red exclamation mark will be shown next to the field that requires your operation or reports any problem. You can hover over the exclamation mark to view the detailed error message.
After you finish all required operations, the status of the domain will change from Configuration required into Completed.

Procedure

  1. In the General section, verify your domain.
    1. Add the TXT record provided on the console to your domain's DNS configuration to prove that you own the domain.
    2. Click Verify.
      The message Domain verified appears if the domain verification is successful.
    If your domain does not pass verification, the built-in policy rule "Global Anti-Virus Rule (Enforced on Unverified Domains)" will be forcibly applied to incoming messages sent to the domain.
    If you have difficulty adding the TXT record, you can add an MX record for your domain instead:
    Add an MX record for the Trend Micro Email Security server with the highest preference value.
    • North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific:
      <your_domain> MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = <your_domain_mta>
      <your_domain> MX preference = 32767, mail exchanger = <company_identifier>.in.tmes.trendmicro.com
    • Europe and Africa:
      <your_domain> MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = <your_domain_mta>
      <your_domain> MX preference = 32767, mail exchanger = <company_identifier>.in.tmes.trendmicro.eu
    • Australia and New Zealand:
      <your_domain> MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = <your_domain_mta>
      <your_domain> MX preference = 32767, mail exchanger = <company_identifier>.in.tmes-anz.trendmicro.com
    • Japan:
      <your_domain> MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = <your_domain_mta>
      <your_domain> MX preference = 32767, mail exchanger = <company_identifier>.in.tmems-jp.trendmicro.com
    • Singapore:
      <your_domain> MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = <your_domain_mta>
      <your_domain> MX preference = 32767, mail exchanger = <company_identifier>.in.tmes-sg.trendmicro.com
    • India:
      <your_domain> MX preference = 20, mail exchanger =<your_domain_mta>
      <your_domain> MX preference = 32767, mail exchanger =<company_identifier>.in.tmes-in.trendmicro.com
    • Middle East (UAE):
      <your_domain> MX preference = 20, mail exchanger =<your_domain_mta>
      <your_domain> MX preference = 32767, mail exchanger =<company_identifier>.in.tmes-uae.trendmicro.com
    Note
    Note
    In the preceding MX record, the second preference value 32767 is only used as an example. When setting the second preference value, make sure it is larger than the first preference value, which means this route has lower priority than the first one.
    To learn more about MX records, see About MX Records and Trend Micro Email Security.
    Tip
    Tip
    DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours. The status of the domain you are adding does not change until DNS propagation is complete. During this period, do not turn off any on-premises security. While waiting for DNS propagation, you can use the administrator console to customize the domain settings for features such as Policy, Recipient Filter, Sender Filter, Policy Objects, BEC, and IP Reputation.
    If the domain stays as unverified for more than 48 hours, confirm that the TXT record or MX record for the domain is correct.
    • For Linux, run one of the following commands:
      dig txt <domain_name>
      dig mx <domain_name>
    • For Windows, run one of the following commands:
      nslookup -q=txt <domain_name>
      nslookup -q=mx <domain_name>
  2. In the Inbound Servers section, complete the following configurations:
    1. Configure your firewall to accept email messages from the following Trend Micro Email Security IP addresses or CIDR blocks:
