Frequently Asked Questions About MX, SPF & DKIM Checks

  • What is an MX record check?

    An MX record check analyzes the DNS configuration responsible for routing email. It shows which mail servers accept incoming mail for a domain, their priority, and whether the setup is correct. The tool helps identify issues affecting mail delivery.

  • Why validate an SPF record?

    An SPF check shows which servers are allowed to send email on behalf of the domain. Incorrect SPF often causes messages to be flagged as spam. The tool helps detect issues such as missing include rules, overly permissive policies (p=none), or missing ~all/-all mechanisms.

  • Why check a DKIM record?

    DKIM validation confirms that the domain signs outgoing mail using a valid cryptographic key. Missing or weak DKIM keys increase the chance of messages being flagged as unsafe. DKIM checks help diagnose configuration issues and improve email reputation.

  • Can online MX, SPF & DKIM test results be trusted?

    Yes. The tool performs direct DNS queries without caching, producing highly accurate, real-time results. This is crucial when diagnosing delivery issues or testing new configurations.

  • Why check SPF and DKIM together?

    Checking SPF and DKIM together provides a full picture of outgoing email authentication. SPF controls which servers may send email. DKIM ensures messages are properly signed. Combined checks reveal conflicts, missing keys, and misconfigurations.

  • Do professionals use this tool?

    Yes. MX lookups, SPF validation, and DKIM diagnostics are routine tasks for system administrators, marketers, website owners, and email deliverability experts. The tool is suitable for both beginners and professionals.
