Email DNS checker

Look for a domain’s MX, SPF, and DMARC records in one check.

↗ Checked on request

01 / Your domain

Preparing the checker…

Makes three fixed DNS lookups through Cloudflare and uses three units of the DNS allowance. No email is sent. Results are not saved to workspace history.

02 / Your result

What it does

Get a small DNS snapshot when setting up a mailbox or reviewing an email domain. The checker requests MX records, TXT records at the domain, and TXT records at its _dmarc name through Cloudflare DNS. It highlights the records it can observe and keeps unavailable answers distinct from missing records.

Useful when

  • Check whether email setup records have appeared in DNS.
  • Find the MX hosts listed for a domain.
  • Review SPF and DMARC text before checking it with your mail provider.

How to use it

  1. Enter the exact domain used for email, without a mailbox name.
  2. Complete verification if requested, then run the check.
  3. Review MX, SPF, and DMARC observations alongside the raw DNS answers.

A few useful details

Does it prove that email will be delivered?

No. It does not send mail, connect to a mailbox, validate DKIM signatures, or test deliverability. MX absence alone does not prove a domain cannot receive mail, because SMTP has fallback rules.

Is this a full SPF or DMARC validator?

No. It looks for version-tagged TXT records at the exact names queried. It does not evaluate SPF includes or lookup limits, validate every policy tag, or perform organizational-domain DMARC fallback.

Why can a check be inconclusive?

The resolver may be blocked, time out, return an error, or truncate a large answer. Each check uses three DNS lookups and shares the DNS tool allowance. Results are one resolver’s snapshot and are not saved to workspace history.
