No time to send an email?

Check your domain instead

Type your domain, or the email address you send from, and we will check its SPF, DMARC, mail servers and blocklists. It cannot see your actual emails, so a test email tells you more, but it is a good start.

The jargon, busted

SPF, DKIM and DMARC in plain English

Three short settings that prove an email really came from you. Since 2024 Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft have expected businesses to have all three, and mail without them is far more likely to be junked.

SPF

The guest list

A list, kept in your domain's settings, of the servers allowed to send email for you. Mail from anywhere else looks suspicious.

DKIM

The wax seal

A signature added to every email you send. The receiver checks it against a key in your domain's settings, which proves nothing was changed on the way.

DMARC

The instructions

Tells receivers what to do with mail that fails the other two: deliver it anyway, put it in junk, or refuse it. It also stops scammers sending as you.

Questions

Good to know

Why do my emails go to spam?
Usually for one of three reasons. The receiving server cannot confirm the email really came from you, because SPF, DKIM or DMARC are missing or wrong. The server that sent it is on a blocklist. Or the message itself looks like spam to a filter. The test checks all three and tells you which one, if any, is the problem.
What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?
They are three short records in your domain's settings that prove an email is really from you. SPF lists the servers allowed to send your email. DKIM adds a signature to each message that the receiver can check. DMARC tells receivers what to do when a message fails those checks. Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft now expect all three from businesses.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. Each result says in plain English what it means, and anything that needs fixing comes with what to do about it. If someone else looks after your email or website, you can send them the link to your report.
What should I send?
Send the kind of email you normally send customers, from the address you normally use: a quote, an invoice email or your newsletter. A one line test message is fine too, but a real email gives a more useful score.
Do you keep my email?
We keep it for 24 hours so you can reopen your report with its link, then it is deleted. We never send anything to the address you test from, and we never use the content for anything else.
Nothing has arrived. What now?
Give it a couple of minutes, as some providers queue mail. Check you sent it to the exact address shown, and that it did not bounce back to you. If your server is on several blocklists, our mail server may refuse it at the door, which is itself the answer: try the domain check below, which needs no email.
Is the score the same as on other email testers?
Not exactly, because every tester weighs things slightly differently. Ours starts at 10 and takes points off for each problem, and the report shows exactly what each one cost, so nothing is hidden.
Is this the same as the SEO check?
No. The SEO check looks at how Google and AI assistants see your website. This test looks at whether the emails you send reach your customers. Both matter: a customer who finds you online and gets your quote in their spam folder is a lost job.
