SPF Check

Validate your Sender Policy Framework record

About this tool

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) tells receiving mail servers which hosts may send email for your domain. A broken SPF record — duplicated, too many DNS lookups, or missing an "all" mechanism — causes legitimate mail to land in spam. IPeek finds your SPF record, parses every mechanism and flags the issues that hurt deliverability.

Frequently asked questions

What is an SPF record?

An SPF record is a TXT DNS record beginning with "v=spf1" that lists the servers authorized to send email on behalf of your domain.

Why does the 10 DNS-lookup limit matter?

SPF allows at most 10 DNS-querying mechanisms. Exceeding it causes a "permerror" and receivers may reject or ignore your SPF.

Should my record end in ~all or -all?

"-all" (hard fail) is strictest; "~all" (soft fail) is common during rollout. Avoid "+all", which authorizes everyone.
