MX record lookup

MX records tell other servers where to deliver mail addressed to your domain. They govern receiving, not sending — but a broken MX means bounce notifications and replies never reach you, which makes sending problems invisible.

Under active development: The live DNS engine for MX lookup is currently being built. Test the interactive preview below to explore what it evaluates.

  • PassPrimary10 · aspmx.l.google.com
  • PassBackups20 · alt1 · 30 · alt2

    Distinct priorities, correctly ordered.

  • PassCNAME targetsnone

    An MX pointing at a CNAME is invalid and some servers reject it.

Healthy — three exchangers with distinct priorities, all resolving.

SadaSend runs these checks continuously on your sending domains, and refuses to send until they pass — so mail Gmail would reject never leaves.

What this checks

  • MX records exist and resolve to real hosts
  • Priorities are distinct and ordered sensibly
  • No MX points at a CNAME, which is invalid
  • Every target resolves to an A or AAAA record
