To ensure your emails are delivered reliably and securely, it’s important to have your domain’s DNS records set up correctly.

Key records such as SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX help verify your identity as a sender, protect your brand from spoofing, and direct incoming mail to the right mail server. In this guide, we’ll show you how to check these settings and confirm they’re configured properly.

How to check your domain settings using Mail-Tester tool:

  1. Copy the test email address displayed on the page and do not close this tab.

  2. In the mailbox you plan to use for sending emails, create a new email.

  3. Send the email to the test address you copied from Mail-Tester.

  4. Return to the Mail-Tester tab and click “Then check your score”.

  5. Wait a few seconds for the email to be delivered. You will then see your score and a detailed report about your domain settings (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, etc.).

When the test result is ready, do not hesitate to contact our support team to ge tthe feedback!
