/ Email Security Check

Check your business email security

See whether SPF and DMARC are set up to reduce spoofing and delivery problems.

What this check covers

Three public DNS signals that decide whether receivers trust mail from your domain.

MX

Confirms mail servers are published so other systems know where to deliver messages for your domain.

SPF

Lists which services may send mail as you. We walk includes and check the 10-lookup limit, not just whether a record exists.

DMARC

Tells receivers what to do when mail fails authentication — monitor, quarantine, or reject.

Common questions

What does this check look at?+

Public DNS only: MX (where mail is delivered), SPF (who may send as you), and DMARC (what receivers should do with spoofed mail). We do not log into your mailbox or store your results.

Why is DKIM not included?+

DKIM keys sit under a selector name that is not published in one standard place. Without a message header or selector, we cannot verify DKIM from the domain alone. SPF and DMARC still tell you a lot about spoofing risk.

Will this change my email settings?+

No. This is a read-only DNS lookup. Nothing on your domain is modified.

My score is low. What should I do next?+

Start with the recommendations on the results. If you want help cleaning up SPF or moving DMARC from p=none to enforcement, call (864) 335-9223 or open a sales conversation.

Is this a full security audit?+

No. It is a focused authentication check. For a broader review of backups, endpoints, and compliance gaps, use our free IT assessment.
