Maintain independent recovery access
Maintain a reachable domain-management contact. Recovery becomes difficult if every recovery channel depends on the unavailable domain itself. Use appropriate credential storage, limit access by role and review access when employees leave.
Combine settings with management responsibilities
Configure authentication for actual senders and keep recoverable DNS records. Assign responsibility for registry notices and renewals. Verify unexpected login or payment messages through the official account rather than unsolicited links. Technical settings do not replace these routines.
Your practical checklist
- Review recovery addresses.
- Document authorised administrators.
- Configure sender authentication.
- Keep a recoverable DNS backup.
A useful question
Does registration automatically protect my mailbox?
No. Registration, mailbox access and sender authentication are separate parts of a complete setup.
