Will your email reach the inbox?
Enter your domain to check its SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records — the four things inbox providers use to decide whether your mail is trusted or dumped in spam.
Modern inbox providers judge every message on three DNS records. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) lists which servers are allowed to send email for your domain. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a cryptographic signature that proves a message was not tampered with. DMARC ties the two together and tells receivers what to do with mail that fails. Your MX records complete the picture by defining where mail is delivered.
Miss any of these and your legitimate email can land in spam — or worse, someone can spoof your domain and send phishing in your name. Our free email deliverability checker tests all four and explains, in plain English, what is passing, what needs work, and what to fix.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC are DNS records that prove your email is legitimate. Correctly configured, they stop your messages landing in spam and stop others spoofing your domain.
Common causes are missing or misconfigured SPF, DKIM or DMARC records, a blacklisted sending IP, or poor sender reputation. This checker tests your email authentication records so you can fix them.
