What is checked?
- SPF: record validity, include chain and the 10 DNS lookup limit
- DKIM: common selectors and key length
- DMARC: policy, reporting addresses and percentage
- Presence of MTA-STS and BIMI
- MX target resolution and reverse DNS
How do I read the result?
- With a DMARC policy of none, spoofed email is not blocked; aim for quarantine or reject.
- More than 10 DNS lookups in SPF invalidates the record.
- A DKIM not found result can mislead if you use a different selector.
Frequently asked questions
How is DKIM found?
A selector name cannot be guessed unless known; we try the nine most common: default, google, selector1, selector2, k1, mail, dkim, s1 and s2.
