Free domain and email security tools

Instant checkers, generators and analysers for DMARC, SPF, DKIM, SSL, DNS and domain security. All free, no sign-up required.

How to use these tools

The tools fall into three groups. Checkers read what is currently published in DNS for a domain and tell you whether it is valid: the DMARC, SPF, DKIM, DNSSEC, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT checkers all resolve records live at the moment you run them. Generators build a correct record from answers to a few questions, so you can produce a policy without hand-writing the syntax. Analysers take something you already have, such as a raw email header or an aggregate report, and explain what it says.

For a domain you have not audited before, a sensible order is DMARC checker first to see whether a policy exists at all, then SPF and DKIM to confirm the two authentication mechanisms DMARC depends on, then the SSL and DNSSEC checks for the wider domain posture. If SPF fails on a lookup count, the SPF flattener shows which includes are consuming your ten-lookup budget.

Every tool runs without an account and stores nothing about the domains you check. They are point-in-time checks, which is their limitation: they tell you what is published right now, not who has been sending as your domain over the past month. That gap is what continuous DMARC report monitoring covers, because only aggregate reports from receiving mail servers reveal the senders you did not know about. For how these free tools line up against the free tiers other vendors offer, and where each free tier stops, see free DMARC tools compared.
