Refreshes provider DNS status; verified requires an active provider domain and a nonempty set of valid sending records. If an active domain loses verification, clears managed delivery and marks degraded, restoring the saved delivery path. Checking does not activate a newly verified domain. Requires verified_sending_domains enabled for the organization and the current user/group to have manage_email, email_manager or group_all. Requires permission: one of manage_email. ## OpenAPI ````yaml post /admin/email/settings/sending-domains/{domainId}/check openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Gratona API description: >- REST API for the Gratona fundraising platform, including donor, donation, sponsorship, program, event, and integration workflows.
