Email / PTR DNS audit

DNS-only checks for MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and PTR consistency. No mail is sent.

Results are diagnostic only. Not a deliverability or spam-score guarantee.

DNS checks explained

This audit only queries DNS. Passing SPF/DKIM/DMARC/PTR improves the chance of clean sending when combined with correct server config. It is not a spam-score product.

  • MX records

    Mail exchangers that receive inbound mail for the domain.

  • SPF (TXT)

    TXT policy listing authorized senders (v=spf1).

  • DMARC

    Policy at _dmarc.domain (v=DMARC1) for alignment and reporting.

  • DKIM (default/mail/s1)

    Looks for selectors default, mail and s1; other selectors may still exist.

  • PTR / reverse DNS

    Reverse DNS for mail IP plus A/AAAA forward match.

  • geofeed: TXT

    Optional geofeed: TXT; shown as not published when absent.

FAQ

Will this fix spam folder placement?
No guarantee. Correct DNS is necessary but not sufficient for inbox placement.
Can I audit an IP only?
Yes. Enter a public IPv4/IPv6 to check PTR and forward consistency.
Why is DKIM marked missing?
We only probe default/mail/s1. Your provider may use another selector name.
What VPS helps with mail?
A Sofia static-IP Cloud VPS gives you control over PTR and outbound IP reputation. Soft CTA only.
