Will your email reach the inbox?

Check the DNS records Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo use to decide whether mail from your domain is genuine. If one is missing or wrong, you’ll get the exact record to add.

  • SPF
  • DKIM
  • DMARC
  • MX
  • MTA-STS
  • BIMI

What we check

SPF

TXT @

Lists the servers allowed to send email as you. We check it exists, covers your mail host and stays under the 10-lookup limit.

DKIM

selector._domainkey

Signs each message so receivers can tell it wasn’t changed. We look for keys under the names mail hosts and sending services use.

DMARC

TXT _dmarc

Tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM, and sends you reports. We check the policy and where reports go.

Why it matters now

Since 2024, Gmail and Yahoo have required SPF, DKIM and DMARC from bulk senders, and Outlook.com followed in 2025. Mail that doesn’t pass is more likely to be junked or rejected, even from small senders.

What this check can’t tell you

Whether a particular email lands in spam

Content, your sending history and each recipient’s settings matter too. These records are the foundation.

Every DKIM key

DKIM keys can use any name. We check the common ones and any selector you enter.
