SPF Record Checker
Look up and inspect a domain's SPF record: see its policy, the mechanisms it uses, how many DNS lookups it costs, and common mistakes. Resolved on Uptimeify's EU servers.
This check works inside your AI agent, too.
You are running by hand what Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT could do for you directly. Uptimeify offers this and 19 more checks as an MCP server: SSL, DNS, email authentication and more, right in your workflow. No account, no API key, on EU infrastructure.
Frequently asked questions about SPF Record Checker
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a TXT record that lists which servers are allowed to send email for your domain. Receiving mail servers check it to help decide whether a message is legitimate. The record ends in an all mechanism whose qualifier sets the default: -all rejects anything not listed, ~all marks it as suspicious, and +all (dangerous) authorises everyone.
SPF limits a record to 10 DNS-lookup mechanisms (include, a, mx, ptr, exists and redirect); exceed it and receivers return a permerror and may ignore your SPF entirely. This tool counts the lookups in the record itself: remember that each include pulls in more, so stay well under 10. The check runs on Uptimeify's EU servers and your input is not stored.
A broken SPF record quietly sends your email to spam. Validate it here, then let Uptimeify keep watch on your domain's DNS and deliverability and alert you the moment a record changes or breaks.
