What is SPF Record Checker?

SPF Record Checker verifies your domain's SPF (Sender Policy Framework) DNS record. SPF tells email servers which IPs can send mail for your domain. A missing or misconfigured SPF record causes emails to land in spam or get rejected.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter your domain name.
  2. The tool queries your SPF TXT record from DNS.
  3. Review the record content and validation status.
  4. Check for common issues: multiple SPF records, exceeding 10 DNS lookups.
  5. See which mail servers and services are authorized.

Frequently asked questions

What is SPF?
A DNS TXT record that lists which mail servers can send email for your domain. Receiving servers check SPF to verify the sender is authorized. Emails from unlisted servers get marked as spam or rejected.
Why is there a 10 DNS lookup limit?
The SPF specification limits DNS lookups to prevent abuse and performance issues. Each include:, redirect, mx, a, and exists mechanism counts as one lookup. Exceeding 10 causes a permerror and SPF fails entirely.
Can I have multiple SPF records?
No — only one SPF record per domain is allowed. Multiple records cause a permerror. If you need to authorize multiple services, combine them into one record using include: mechanisms.
What does ~all vs -all mean?
~all is a soft fail — unauthorized senders get flagged but not rejected. -all is a hard fail — unauthorized senders are rejected. Start with ~all while testing, switch to -all once you're confident everything is configured correctly.
