Email Checker

Emails going to spam, or bouncing? Test your domain’s SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records in one go, and get plain-English fixes for anything that’s wrong.

Leave the selector blank and we’ll try the common ones (cPanel, Google, Microsoft 365 and popular mailing services).

SPF

Lists the servers allowed to send email for your domain — and we check it stays under the 10-lookup limit that silently breaks so many records.

DKIM

A digital signature on every email that proves it wasn’t forged or changed in transit. We check the key exists and is strong enough.

DMARC

Tells inboxes what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM, and sends you reports. Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft now expect it.

Frequently asked questions

Why are my emails going to spam?
The most common reasons are a missing or broken SPF record, no DKIM signature, and no DMARC policy — all of which this checker tests. Beyond DNS, spammy content, sudden bursts of sending and a sending server with a poor reputation also play a part. More in our guide.
What is the SPF 10-lookup limit?
Each include, a, mx, exists and redirect in an SPF record — including inside the records it includes — costs one DNS lookup, and receivers stop at 10. Over the limit, SPF fails for every email you send. It creeps up when you add services like Microsoft 365, a newsletter tool and a CRM; remove the ones you no longer use.
Where do I find my DKIM selector?
Open an email you sent, view the original message or headers, and find the DKIM-Signature header. The selector is the value after s=. On EDZNET hosting with cPanel it’s usually default; Microsoft 365 uses selector1 and selector2; Google Workspace uses google unless changed.
Should my DMARC policy be none, quarantine or reject?
Start with p=none and a rua address so you get reports without affecting delivery. Once the reports show all your genuine mail passing, move to quarantine, then reject for full protection against spoofing.
How do I fix these on EDZNET hosting?
In cPanel, open Email Deliverability — it checks SPF and DKIM and can install the correct records with one click when your DNS is with us. Or open a ticket and we’ll set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC for you.
I changed a record but the checker still shows the old one.
DNS changes take time to spread. Check the TXT record in our DNS propagation checker to see which providers have the new value.
