About this tool. TXT records carry machine-readable text — SPF policies, site-verification proofs, security policies. This lookup lists them all and labels the ones it recognizes so you can see at a glance what each is for.
Ten signals decide whether your mail arrives. You just checked one.
TXT is where SPF, DKIM and DMARC live, which is why this list is usually longer than expected. Reading them as a set is what tells you whether they work together.
- SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX and blocklist status, graded A to F in one pass
- Every problem written out in plain English, with the record to publish
- Saved under Reports, so you can re-run it and see what changed
- One domain watched against the blocklists daily

How to read your TXT records
- TXT records hold free-form text used for many things: SPF, domain verification, DKIM keys and more. We decode the common ones.
- A domain can have many TXT records. Only one SPF record is allowed, so watch for duplicates.
Common problems and how to fix them
A verification is failing
Confirm the exact TXT value is present with no extra spaces or quotes, and that it is on the right host (apex vs a subdomain).
Two SPF records exist
That is invalid and breaks SPF. Merge them into a single record.
Common questions.What is a TXT record?
A DNS record that stores arbitrary text. It is used for email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and for proving domain ownership to third parties.
Why do I have so many TXT records?
Each service you verify or configure often adds one. That is fine, as long as you have only a single SPF record.
