Email authentication and publishing tools

Understand public DNS records, examine message evidence, and prepare the small details that go into an email. The toolbox separates authentication records from message verification and delivery, helping you decide what a result actually proves.

Inspect records in the right order

Start by identifying the domain and sending services you intend to use. SPF describes authorized envelope senders; DKIM publishes a selector-specific key; DMARC describes alignment with the visible From domain and requested policy. A TXT record check can explain supported syntax and limits. It cannot prove that a service holds the correct private key or that every message will authenticate.

Use headers and reports as evidence

An email header contains routing and authentication claims added by different systems. Treat those claims according to where they were added rather than trusting every line equally. DMARC aggregate XML summarizes receiver observations over a reporting period. Review unfamiliar sending sources against your own service inventory before changing policy, and keep report counts distinct from all mail sent.

Preview the presentation before sending

Subject lines and preheaders can be clipped differently by client, screen width and font. The preview tool uses explicit character budgets rather than pretending to reproduce every inbox. Signature HTML is a copyable starting point that still needs testing in your mail client. A syntax-cleaned address list can remove obvious errors and duplicates, but it cannot confirm mailbox existence or consent.

Common questions

Are live DNS checks private?

Pasted-record checks run locally. Live modes send the domain or selector to Google Public DNS over HTTPS, as disclosed in the tool and privacy page. Network failures are not treated as successful authentication.

Does a passing record mean my mail reaches the inbox?

No. Record syntax and publication are only part of authentication, and authentication is only part of delivery. Message signing, alignment, sending reputation and receiver decisions also matter.

Common questions

Where do I start? Try an example, then replace its values with yours.

Why did my upload fail? Check the field error, accepted format and file-size limit. Start with a small sanitized sample.

Where are my results? Review the result panel, then use its copy or download controls. If a calculation fails, check the error beside the input.
