The records behind email delivery

MX: where your mail goes

MX records tell other servers where to deliver mail for your domain. If they point to the wrong place, mail bounces or vanishes. The MX Lookup shows them in priority order and checks each server has an address.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC: proving it is really you

SPF, DKIM and DMARC help receivers authenticate a message and relate its identities to the visible From domain. Provider requirements differ for all senders and bulk senders; passing authentication does not guarantee inbox placement. Check published records with the SPF, DKIM and DMARC checkers, then confirm actual received-message headers.

When a message has already gone wrong

Paste the headers of the problem message into the Email Header Analyzer. It shows which checks failed at the receiving end and where delivery was delayed. For a full walk-through, read emails going to spam.
