Email and DNS tools

The records that decide whether your mail arrives, and whether anything resolves.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC are single TXT records, and all three fail in ways that look like success. SPF has a hard limit of ten DNS lookups counted recursively through every include, and exceeding it is a permerror, which means receivers ignore the record entirely: it stops authorising your own mail as well as blocking anyone else's. A DKIM record with an empty p is not incomplete, it is a revocation. DMARC at p=none reports and enforces nothing, which is the correct place to start and where most domains stop. Underneath all three is the zone itself, where a target missing its trailing dot silently becomes a name that does not exist. These tools read the record and name what it actually does.

Free, with no sign-up. Every one runs entirely in your browser: nothing you paste is uploaded, and there is no server to send it to.
