E-mail address check

Check if an e-mail address can receive mail: we test the address format and whether its domain has working mail servers (MX), plus SPF and DMARC. Free, no sign-up. We never send a message to the address.

Issues
  • LOW · dkimDKIM key for selector google is 1024 bits; 2048 is the current recommendation. Fix: Rotate to a 2048-bit RSA key (check that your DNS host accepts long TXT records).
  • LOW · dkimDKIM key for selector s1 is 1024 bits; 2048 is the current recommendation. Fix: Rotate to a 2048-bit RSA key (check that your DNS host accepts long TXT records).
  • INFO · spfSPF ends with '~all' (softfail). This is common and acceptable when DMARC is enforced. Fix: Use '-all' once you are sure every sender is listed.
  • INFO · mta-stsNo MTA-STS record. Inbound mail can be downgraded to unencrypted SMTP. Fix: Publish _mta-sts TXT and a policy file to require TLS (optional hardening).

When do I need this?

You are not sure an e-mail address is real before you write to it or accept it in a form.

How to do it

  1. Type the address.
  2. Press Check.
  3. See whether it looks valid and whether its domain can receive mail.

Good to know

Words explained

domain
Your website name, e.g. mybakery.com. It is also the part of an e-mail address after the @.
MX
The domain setting that says where your e-mail is delivered.
SPF
A domain setting that lists who may send e-mail in your name. Helps your mail avoid spam.
DMARC
A domain setting that stops other people sending fake e-mails in your name.

Questions

Does it check if the mailbox exists?

No. It checks the format and that the domain can receive mail. Checking a single mailbox would mean contacting the mail server, which we do not do.

Why would mail bounce?

If the domain has no MX records, or does not exist, every message to it bounces.

Can you clean my whole list?

Yes, see our e-mail list cleaning service, or use the API on thousands of domains.
