Find out whether your email is set up to land.
Type your domain and you get a plain answer about SPF, DKIM and DMARC in a few seconds. If something is missing, the fix sheet gives you the exact records to paste, written for your mail provider.
Here is what the fix sheet gives you.
One merged SPF record
Whatever your record already allows is kept, your mail provider's include is added if it is missing, duplicates are removed and it ends in a real policy. You get one line to paste, and the sheet says where the old ones go.
A DMARC record in two dated steps
The first record starts at p=none with reports going to the address you choose, so nothing you send is affected. The sheet names the day, two weeks later, to move to p=quarantine, and gives you that second line too.
DKIM steps for your provider
Numbered instructions for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, Fastmail, Proton or iCloud: where the key is generated, what to paste, and which selector name to use. Tools like Mailchimp or SendGrid that show up in your SPF get their own short note.
A check-again button
Each time you press it, the live check runs again and the sheet shows what has changed since the day you bought it. DNS can take an hour to settle, so you can come back as often as you like.
The link, by email
The sheet is a private page that stays up for a year. The link arrives in your inbox right after payment, so you can forward it to whoever manages your DNS.
Here is what it does not include.
Publishing the records for you
You paste them yourself at your DNS host. GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap, Squarespace and the rest each have a page for it, and the sheet says which fields to fill in. If you get stuck, reply to the email and a person helps.
Repairing a bad reputation
If a domain has been used for spam, or a sending tool got it blocklisted, records alone will not bring it back. The check tells you whether the records are right, which is the first step either way.
Reading your DMARC reports for you
The reports are small XML files. The sheet explains what a clean one looks like and when to move on. If you would rather have someone read them for you, several free dashboards will, and the sheet names two.
A few things to know before you pay.
Why this matters now
Since February 2024, Gmail and Yahoo require every domain that sends them mail to publish SPF or DKIM, and anyone sending more than about five thousand messages a day to publish both plus DMARC. Mail that fails is more likely to be slowed down or filed as spam. Most small businesses were set up before this and have never checked.
The person behind it
John Howrey, the designer behind All the Possibles, wrote the check and the sheet, and he reads the replies. The portfolio on the home page is the work.
Refunds
If the sheet tells you nothing the free check did not, or your domain was already ready when you paid, reply to the email within seven days and the $19 comes back. No form, no questions.
What we store
The free check stores nothing. When you buy, we keep your domain, the two email addresses and the result of the first check so the sheet can show what changed. Times on the sheet are US Eastern.
