What "DNS propagation" means
When you add or change a DNS record, that change starts at your DNS host (wherever your domain is managed) and then has to be picked up by DNS servers around the internet. Until enough of those servers have the new record, systems checking your domain may still see the old state. That spread is called propagation. Raise More cannot confirm your records until they have propagated far enough to be detected.
Typical timing
In most cases verification is quick. Once the records are in place, Raise More often confirms them within a few minutes. It can take longer, though, and DNS changes can take up to about 48 hours to fully propagate. Both outcomes are normal. There is nothing wrong if it does not happen instantly.
You do not have to keep clicking anything during this time. Raise More rechecks your records on its own in the background and updates the status to Verified once they are detected. You may need to refresh the page to see the status change.
What makes it faster or slower
A few things affect how long propagation takes:
How you added the records. If you used the Set Up DNS Automatically With Entri option, the records are usually written cleanly and confirmed quickly. Adding records by hand can take longer, because there is more chance of a typo and because some manual workflows save more slowly.
Your DNS host. Some providers publish changes almost immediately. Others batch or cache changes and are slower to update.
Record TTL. TTL (time-to-live) tells other servers how long to hold a cached copy of a record before checking again. A high TTL on an existing record can slow down how fast a change is seen.
Whether the records are correct. If a record has a wrong value, is on the wrong domain, or was not actually saved, it will never confirm no matter how long you wait.
How to check the status
Open the Verified Emails page. Each sending address shows one of these statuses:
Verified: the domain is confirmed and the address is ready to send.
In progress: the records have been added and Raise More is waiting to confirm them.
Action required: the records are not in place yet, or could not be confirmed.
While a domain shows In progress, the records are still propagating or have not yet been detected. You cannot send email from the domain until it shows Verified.
If an address still needs DNS records, a Finish Verification button appears next to it. This reopens the DNS setup with the same records, so you can finish adding them or have Raise More resend them to your DNS host. It is useful if you closed the setup partway through, if a record did not save, or if you added the records manually and want to add the remaining ones through the automatic setup.
What "stuck" looks like and how to fix it
A domain is most likely stuck, rather than just slow, if it has been more than about 48 hours and the status is still In progress or Action required. To resolve it:
Reopen the setup. Use Finish Verification to open the DNS setup again and confirm every record is present.
Confirm the values. Compare each record against what is saved at your DNS host. Match the type, name, and value exactly. A single wrong character will stop verification.
Confirm the domain. Make sure the records were added to the domain you are actually sending from, not a different domain or subdomain.
Contact support if the records look correct but the status will not move. Support can look at what Raise More is detecting for your domain.
FAQ
Can I send email while the domain is still In progress?
No. You can only send from a domain once it shows Verified.
Why is mine taking so long when others are fast?
Propagation speed varies by DNS host and by the TTL on your records. A slow provider or a high cached TTL can stretch the wait toward the 48-hour end.
Do I need to keep clicking Finish Verification?
No. Raise More rechecks your records on its own and updates the status when they are detected. The Finish Verification button is there to reopen the DNS setup, for example if you closed it partway through or a record did not save.
It has been more than 48 hours. What now?
Confirm the records were saved correctly at your DNS host and on the right domain, use Finish Verification to reopen the setup and check the records, and contact support if it still does not verify.
