Guaranteed measurable improvement for email deliverability and domain security
Solve your problems in no time
With the SPF lookup you analyze the SPF record of a domain for errors, security risks and authorized IP addresses. Optionally, you can specify an IP address to check if it is authorized to send e-mail on behalf of the domain. The SPF lookup analyzes registered TXT records in real time. If you want to specify an SPF record manually, use the SPF Analyzer.
Does a valid SPF record exist?
An SPF record was found for the domain ascend.org.
The SPF record for ascend.org is valid.
The syntax check of the SPF record shows no obvious errors.
Which IP-s are legitimate to send emails?
The SPF record contains a reference to external rules, which means that the validity of the SPF record depends on at least one other domain. A detailed list of the rules used externally can be found in the analysis result.
In total, 153 IP address(es) were authorized by the SPF record to send emails.
The SPF record analysis was performed on 05.05.2024 at 14:51:33 clock.
