Update
REMINDER: The deadline to update your configuration has almost passed. If e-mails have changed to originate from "do-not-reply@blackboard.com" or are being blocked or marked as "spam", please contact support to start the process as soon as possible.
On March 31, 2026, Blackboard will be replacing the current Email Relay solution (Sentrion) with a new email relay solution (Amazon SES) which will provide a more robust, scalable, and reliable service. If you use Blackboard email relay service to send emails from your custom domain (for example donotreply@monument.edu), this change will impact you. DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) will now be a required configuration when you use our e-mail relays and a non-’blackboard.com’ domain to send e-mail from your Blackboard LMS. Please refer to the Anthology Support Center for more details: https://support.anthology.com/s/article/Important-Information-for-Clients-using-Custom-domain-to-send-emails
This support bulletin is only applicable to clients that send emails from a custom domain. There will be no impact or disruption to email functionality in the application during the transition i.e., Messages and email functionality will continue to work as normal
