SPF Record Checker
Enter a domain to look up its SPF record and check whether DMARC is in place. SPF lists the servers allowed to send email for a domain; without it, your mail is easier to spoof and more likely to land in spam.

Frequently asked questions
What does this SPF checker do?
It looks up the domain's DNS TXT records, finds the SPF record (the one starting with v=spf1), and reports whether SPF and DMARC are present. SPF tells receiving mail servers which servers may send mail for the domain.
Why is my SPF record not found?
Either the domain has no SPF record published, or it is published incorrectly. SPF must be a TXT record on the root domain starting with v=spf1, and there can be only one SPF record per domain.
Do I need DMARC as well as SPF?
Yes, for reliable delivery. SPF and DKIM prove a message is authentic, and DMARC tells receivers what to do when a message fails and sends you reports. Major mailbox providers now expect all three for bulk senders.
