SPF Record Checker

Look up and parse a domain's SPF record online — see the policy and includes.

About this tool

Find a domain's SPF record and parse it: see the mechanisms, the includes and the all-policy (fail, softfail, neutral). SPF tells receiving servers which hosts may send mail for the domain.

Frequently asked questions

What does -all vs ~all mean?

-all (fail) tells receivers to reject mail from unlisted servers; ~all (softfail) accepts but marks it. -all is the stricter, safer policy.

Why check SPF?

Misconfigured SPF causes legitimate mail to land in spam and leaves your domain open to spoofing.
