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