Free email authentication checkers
Look up any domain's DNS records for DMARC, SPF, DKIM and MTA-STS. Each tool gives a plain-English verdict and the raw record, with no sign-up.
DMARC
DMARC checker
Does the domain publish DMARC, and is its policy actually stopping impersonation?
SPFSPF checker
Is there an SPF record, and is it within the 10-lookup limit before it breaks?
DKIMDKIM checker
Does a DKIM key exist at a given selector, and how strong is it?
MTA-STSMTA-STS checker
Is inbound mail required to use TLS, and does the policy still match the real MX?
Not sure where to start? The DMARC checker gives the fullest overview of a domain. To understand what any of these records do, read what is DMARC or follow the path to p=reject.
