ABOUT THIS TOOL

What the SPF Checker tests

The SPF Checker reads the published SPF TXT record, validates common syntax, follows supported include and redirect relationships and tracks DNS-query-consuming mechanisms. It highlights configurations approaching or exceeding SPF’s lookup ceiling and surfaces recursion or missing-record problems that can cause evaluation errors.
