Use the narrowest diagnostic first
Each free tool answers one concrete question. Use it to confirm publication, spot obvious configuration errors, or gather evidence before running a full message test.
- Use MX lookup when inbound routing or null MX publication is unclear.
- Use SPF checker before changing sender authorization records.
- Use DMARC checker before moving policy toward quarantine or reject.
- Use MTA-STS checker when transport-policy publication matters.
- Use Header analyzer when you need a private, redacted look at message headers.
- Use Blacklist check when you suspect a sending IP or domain is listed.
- Use DKIM checker to find and validate signing keys before DMARC enforcement.
- Use Sender compliance checker to audit the Gmail and Yahoo bulk-sender rules in one pass.
- Use DMARC generator to build a valid _dmarc record for your domain.
- Use Email validator before sending to an address or list you have not mailed recently.
- Use Deliverability tester to test the full production-like message before launch.
