An update to improve email delivery | Email Authentication & Relay

Dear Zoho Recruit Community,

We hope this message finds you well. This post is to inform you about an important update regarding the authentication of all email domains in your Zoho Recruit account.

Effective 31st December, 2024, emails sent using email addresses with unauthenticated email domains will be delivered via our internal relay servers.

What does this mean?

After 31st December, 2024, if an email is sent using an email address with a unauthenticated email domain, instead of being sent to the recipient(s) via your email provider's servers, it will be rerouted through ZeptoMail. See the image below for a visual representation of this change.


What is ZeptoMail?

ZeptoMail is Zoho's transactional email service that automates the sending of key emails to users like password resets, welcome emails, and invoices. See More

How will change affect me?

When an email is sent through our relay servers (ZeptoMail), the following changes will apply;

From & Reply-To addresses

For the recipient, the From address of the email will look something like "notifications@viazohorecruit.com". This will also become the Reply-To address, meaning you won't receive any of the replies within your inbox.

Email Tracking

Due to the email being sent via our Relay Servers, it will not be shown in your email inbox. You can see the sent email only from the Related List section of the record in Zoho Recruit. This may affect any email configurations made in your account, say filters added in your email inbox configured using IMAP. 

What you can do

To avoid facing the above-stated issues, follow the 2-step process detailed below.

STEP #1: Authenticate your email domains 

Authenticating your domain is a one-time action and will likely take you or your organization's IT team a few minutes to finish. Go to Setup > General > Email Settings > Email Authentication to add your email domain(s) and authenticate them. Visit Help Center

STEP #2: Set Up Email Relay

Email Relay allows you to route emails through our (ZeptoMail's) server while sending emails from Zoho Recruit. Once the relay server is setup, any emails you send will follow a path like this: Zoho Recruit → Relay server → Recipient. Go to Setup > General > Email Settings > Email Relay and add your server details. Visit Help Center

This update will protect every user with an email address connected to these domains from facing email deliverability issues and potential security threats. If you have any questions or require assistance with this change, please reach out to us at support@zohorecruit.com.

Regards, 
Team Zoho Recruit
