Will your email reach the inbox?
If your domain has no SPF or DMARC, receivers cannot tell your mail from a forgery, and order confirmations and newsletters land in spam. This reads the DNS records and reports what is missing.
Reads public DNS records for the domain. Nothing is stored.
How this check works
Shipwork looks up the SPF record at the domain root and the DMARC record at _dmarc, reports how strict each is, and notes whether the domain has MX records. DKIM needs a selector, so it is reported as not checkable from the domain alone.
Questions
- What does SPF do?
- It lists the servers allowed to send mail for your domain. Without it, a receiver cannot tell your mail from a spoof.
- What does DMARC do?
- It tells receivers what to do when SPF or DKIM fails (none, quarantine or reject) and where to send reports. p=none only monitors.
- Can this check DKIM?
- No. DKIM needs a selector, which is not public. It can only be checked with the selector your mail provider gives you.
