Limited support for misconfigured services

ExchangeDefender provides technical support and assistance only for the domains that have been properly configured according to our deployment guides (see https://www.exchangedefender.com/docs).

To make sure your domain is properly configured please check https://check.exchangedefender.com

When the required DNS records and inbound/outbound mail isn’t configured correctly our internal troubleshooting tools fail and staff has no way to replicate or diagnose further issues — they are prohibited from guessing or offering informal suggestions as that can cause even bigger issues and cause a liability issue for everyone involved. You’ll get the same answer in the support portal, in the support web chat, and on the phone.

But Vlad!!! What if the client can’t/won’t change their DNS or deploy the service correctly?

I can respect that there is always a business case requirement for doing things the wrong way, and I’ve had plenty of arguments with clients that don’t know how ExchangeDefender relies on all these systems to deliver the best possible protection and functionality. I understand. It might even work!

Just please don’t ask us for help with it when it doesn’t work. Our staff is prohibited from guessing and making the problem even worse. It’s not a BOFH issue, it’s a legal liability issue.
