Deliverability
Diagnose email DNS
Inspect a domain’s MX, SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records together to find why mail bounces or lands in spam.
When to use it
Use this when
- Mail to or from a domain is bouncing, failing authentication, or landing in spam.
- You are standing up a new sending domain and need SPF, DKIM, and DMARC in place.
Steps
Do this
- Run Mail healthOpen Mail health and enter the domain. dnsbin gathers the mail-relevant records in one pass.
- Read the parsed policiesSPF is parsed into includes and the all qualifier; DMARC shows the policy (none/quarantine/reject) and reporting addresses.
- Check DKIM selectorsdnsbin probes common DKIM selectors so you can confirm a public key is published.
Examples
Copyable commands
curl 'https://dnsbin.ca/api/v1/mail?domain=example.com'
Operational notes
Keep in mind
- A missing DMARC record or an SPF ending in +all is a deliverability red flag.
- DKIM selectors are probed from a common list, so an absent key may simply use a custom selector dnsbin didn’t guess.
