DNS Lookup
Check where a domain points, which mail servers it uses and whether SPF, DMARC and DNSSEC are set up.
Inspect DNS records of a domain
A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, CAA and SOA records are queried through Cloudflare’s public resolver, with TTLs, DNSSEC status and SPF and DMARC checks.
Interpret the result
Compare the answers with your DNS provider’s settings, fix missing mail or verification records, and allow for TTLs before re-checking a change.
Prioritize fixes
Results come from one public resolver at one moment; other resolvers may still serve cached answers until the TTL expires.
