Email Deliverability Tools

SPF Checker

Find and analyse SPF records for sender authorisation.

Run the check

Enter a public target. Checks are a point-in-time sample; private and internal addresses are blocked.

What this tool checks

  • SPF TXT records
  • Multiple record warnings
  • Estimated DNS lookup mechanisms
  • All mechanism guidance

Why it matters

SPF helps receiving mail servers identify authorised senders for your domain.

Plain-English examples

  • Check whether Microsoft 365 or a website platform can send mail

Recommended fixes

  • Use one SPF record only
  • Keep DNS lookup mechanisms under 10
  • End with an appropriate all mechanism

Understanding the result

Use findings as a starting point, confirm the intended configuration with your provider, and retest after a change. A successful check does not guarantee security, delivery, uptime or search rankings. Results depend on public DNS and what the server exposes at the time of the check.
