SPF Record Checker

Find and inspect the domain's published SPF policy for outgoing email.

This live lookup sends only the IP address or hostname you enter to the named public lookup service. Do not submit private hostnames or confidential infrastructure details.

About the SPF Record Checker

SPF Record Checker is a focused network utility for administrators, developers, support teams and people troubleshooting an internet connection. Find the SPF TXT policy used to authorize outgoing email senders.

Live results use a public lookup service. Only the address or hostname submitted for lookup is sent to that service.

Results describe public network information and should not be treated as proof of a person's identity or exact physical location.
