Sender Identity

SPF Analyzer

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) specifies who is allowed to send email from your domain. A broken SPF record guarantees the spam folder.

Technical Deep Dive

The Authorization Checklist

SPF is essentially a public list of IPs and services that are allowed to send email for you. If a sender isn't on the list, their email is rejected.

Validate Syntax

SPF records are strict. A single typo invalidates the entire record. We check for common syntax errors and typos.

Lookup Limits

You only get 10 DNS lookups per SPF check. Exceeding this makes your record invalid. We count them for you.

IP Range Checks

Ensure your IP ranges are correctly formatted (CIDR notation) and actually point to the servers you intend to authorize.
