    Using mailbox.org. SPF, DKIM, DMARC (currently None for deliverability testing), and DNSSEC are set up and confirmed with dig, mxtoolbox.com, and EU's MECSA. At least one recipient's IT doesn't seem to send rua / ruf reports. - Source: Reddit / 11 days ago
  • Having issues with my mailserver (using asxigen)
    I have checked my MX, DKIM, SPF and DMARC entries using mxtoolbox.com. These checked out fine. However I get an error for smtp. I have an A record for mail that points to the internal IP of my mailserver (ex. 192.168.1.150). - Source: Reddit / 19 days ago

  • Domain Blacklist
    We have a problem with emails sent from our domain being rejected because they are on the blacklist. I have checked our domain, the IP of our mail server at https://mxtoolbox.com and https://www.fortiguard.com/services/antispam and there is no indication that we are on the spam list. I called two IT departments, companies that have rejected our emails. They both use Forti as their firewall. Is there any way I can... - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago
  • Message suspected as Spam
    Put the domain name into MXTOOLBOX, run the initial process and the click on the "Find Problems" button. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago
  • networking issue on hetzner
    Do you use https://mxtoolbox.com/ for looking up black listing? I have tried to cycle through several different IP addresses in oregon and ashburn. Most of the newly assigned IP addresses in Oregon that I have cycled through, seem to be black listed based on https://mxtoolbox.com/. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago
  • how do i do www.mydomain.com/mail?
    Depends if you have a static IP or not, if it’s static it’s fairly straight forward and all you need to create is an MX record pointing to your static IP. Once up and running you can add SPF and DKIM. I would use https://mxtoolbox.com/ to check your progress and it will tell you what you are missing. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago
  • CloudFront DNS issue...
    What happens if you look it up here? Https://mxtoolbox.com/. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • What should I look out for before implementing DKIM?
    Excellent response. I'd also add using https://dmarcian.com to help check along with mxtoolbox.com. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • Help activating my Gmail..
    Also, go to https://mxtoolbox.com/ and enter your domain. Be sure the records your expecting show up. Somewhere in the response it should show the name of your name server. Be sure that’s where you tried to update the records. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • Gmail suddenly can't find MX records?
    What do other servers see? Use web tools such as https://mxtoolbox.com to check what your published DNS records say. If you have access to a linux box, you can also use the dig commandline tool to check these. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • Purpose of MX records for Google WorkSpace Gmail?
    MX records tell email servers where to deliver email (the domain on the OTHER side of the @ symbol, i.w. The domain.com part of [email protected]) - you can look them up with a simple MX record lookup ala https://mxtoolbox.com/. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • Can't receive emails
    Also as one poster said, go to mxtoolbox.com and check your mx records. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • Our domain's emails have started going to spam and receiving quarantine messages from outlook
    Check your mailserver on https://mxtoolbox.com/. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • Custom Domain DNS failed
    Could be worth double checking with a third party tool like https://mxtoolbox.com/ to see if it’s the DNS record or Fastmail not working. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
