Understanding DMARC, DKIM, SPF
Why these settings matter
These technical records help email servers verify that your messages are legitimate, truly sent from your domain, and not forged.
Good configuration = better trust = stronger deliverability.
What each record does
SPF — Sender Policy Framework
An authentication method that verifies whether the IP address sending an email is authorized by the domain’s administrators.
In other words: it checks the sender’s IP.
DKIM — DomainKeys Identified Mail
Adds an encrypted signature to the header of every outgoing email to prevent spoofing.
In other words: it proves who is sending the email.
DMARC — Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance
Helps prevent attackers from spoofing your domain by falsifying the “From” address.
In other words: it prevents others from impersonating your domain.
Together, these elements authenticate every email you send.
The better your configuration, the more trust you gain from other servers — and the better your deliverability.
How to check your DMARC, DKIM, SPF ?
It's really easy, our tool provides the tools you need to verify all your records.
Enter your email domain in the MXToolbox search bar.
The certificate checker will tell you whether each record is present or missing.
If any certificates are missing, they will be marked as “missing,” and you will need to configure them through your provider.
