Sender checks

Every finding, explainedwith the fix.

Our spam checker and header analyzer examine your domain records and email headers, then report what receivers actually see. Each finding below names the problem, its consequence, and what to change.

SPF

9 SPF findings.

SPF declares which servers may send for the domain. Every finding here is something a receiver could hold against your mail.

Finding What it means
spf_missing No SPF record
spf_multiple_records Multiple SPF records
spf_syntax_error SPF syntax error
spf_no_all_mechanism No all mechanism in SPF
spf_passes_everyone SPF passes every server
spf_neutral_all SPF neutral all
spf_soft_fail SPF soft fail
spf_too_many_lookups Too many SPF lookups
spf_deprecated_ptr Deprecated ptr in SPF

DKIM

6 DKIM findings.

DKIM proves that the message was not altered after the sender signed it. These findings come from the header analyzer, which verifies signatures against the public key in DNS.

Finding What it means
dkim_missing No DKIM signature
dkim_signature_invalid Invalid DKIM signature
dkim_key_not_found DKIM public key not found
dkim_weak_key Weak DKIM key
dkim_body_hash_mismatch DKIM body hash mismatch
dkim_alignment_fail DKIM alignment failure

DMARC

8 DMARC findings.

DMARC tells receivers what to do when SPF or DKIM fails. Without it, or with it in monitoring mode, authentication failures are delivered anyway.

Finding What it means
dmarc_missing No DMARC record
dmarc_multiple_records Multiple DMARC records
dmarc_syntax_error DMARC syntax error
dmarc_monitoring_only DMARC monitoring only
dmarc_quarantine_only DMARC quarantine only
dmarc_partial_coverage DMARC partial coverage
dmarc_no_aggregate_reports No DMARC aggregate reports
dmarc_subdomains_unprotected Subdomains unprotected by DMARC

Header compliance

4 header findings.

Required headers that spam filters and bulk sender policies check for. Missing any of these increases the chance of landing in spam.

Finding What it means
no_authentication_results No Authentication-Results header
missing_message_id Missing Message-ID header
missing_date_header Missing Date header
missing_list_unsubscribe Missing List-Unsubscribe header
