    - `id` string, required
    - `domain` string, required
    - `status` string, required: Overall verification status.
    - `dkimStatus` string, required
    - `dnsRecords` EmailDomainDnsRecord[]: DNS records to publish. Present when fetching a single domain or after adding one.

      - `required` boolean, required: Whether the record is required to verify + send (DKIM) or recommended for deliverability.

## Other responses
