Several:
- RMX - "Reverse MX records". Essentially, DNS records for your
domain with values corresponding to the hosts that were certified
sending hosts for that domain:
yourdomain. IN RMX host:youroutgoingsmtphost.yourdomain.
yourdomain. IN RMX ipv4:10.0.0.0/8
- "MAIL-FROM" MX records, essentially the same idea:
MAIL-FROM IN MX 0 youroutgoingmailhost.yourdomain.
The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.
