DNS Lookup

Look up a domain’s DNS records and email authentication — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA, plus SPF and DMARC — with issues and fixes for common misconfigurations.

What this tool checks

  • Address records — A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6) and CNAME.
  • Mail routing — MX records, sorted by priority.
  • Infrastructure — NS (nameservers), SOA and CAA (certificate authority authorisation).
  • Email authentication — SPF (with a 10-lookup-limit count) and DMARC (with policy strength).

Common problems and fixes

Two SPF records

RFC 7208 allows exactly one. A second record makes SPF fail (PERMERROR) for all your mail. Merge every sending source into one v=spf1 record.

SPF over 10 lookups

Each include:, a, mx and redirect= costs a lookup; over ten, SPF errors out. Flatten or prune.

DMARC set to p=none

p=none only monitors. After reviewing your aggregate (rua) reports, move top=quarantine then p=reject to actually stop spoofing.

FAQ

Which resolver do you use?

The server’s system resolver with a short timeout. Multi-resolver propagation comparison is on the roadmap.

Can I paste an email address or URL?

Yes — we extract the domain from an email address or URL automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Which DNS records does this show?

A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA and CAA, plus parsed SPF and DMARC, DNSSEC status and the HTTPS/SVCB record.

How long do DNS changes take to appear?

It depends on each record's TTL. With a low TTL (e.g. 300s) changes show within minutes; a high TTL can take up to a day. Lower the TTL before a planned change.
