SPF, DKIM and DMARC checker

Reads the three DNS records that decide whether your mail reaches an inbox, and finds the ones that quietly let anyone send as you or protect nothing at all.

This check is part of the membership

Members run it on their own pages, with every other check, the decision tools and the courses.

Why this is worth checking

These three records decide whether your email arrives or lands in spam, and two of them are usually set once and never looked at again. SPF has a hard limit of ten lookups that a growing stack quietly exceeds; DMARC set to p=none reports problems to nobody and enforces nothing.

What it looks at

  • SPF: strict ending and lookup count
  • DMARC: enforcing or only watching
  • Where DMARC reports are sent
  • A DKIM key, present and well formed

It reads the records you paste. Whether they are the ones actually published is a DNS lookup, and whether your mail lands is decided by your sending history as much as by these.
