Can someone send email
pretending to be you?

For most organizations the answer is yes, and nobody has ever told them. Three public DNS records decide whether a stranger can put your name on a message and have it land in someone's inbox looking genuine. This checks all three and explains what they mean in plain English.

We only read public DNS records. Nothing is sent to your domain, no email is sent, and nothing is stored about the result.

SPFsays which servers may send as you
DKIMsigns your mail so it cannot be altered unnoticed
DMARCtells receivers what to do when a message fails
All threeare public. Anyone can look — including whoever is deciding whether to impersonate you
Why this matters

Impersonation is the attack, not the virus

The scams that actually cost people money rarely carry malware. They carry a name you trust. A message that appears to come from your church, your accountant, your bank or your employer does not need an attachment to work — it needs to be believed. Email authentication is the part of that you control: it is how a receiving server can tell your real mail from a forgery.

Most small organizations have some of it, badly configured, and no idea. That is not negligence — it is three obscure DNS records nobody ever explained. This tool exists to explain them.

If the result worries you

We can fix it, or you can

Every finding above comes with the record you need to publish. Plenty of people take that to their IT provider and are done. If you would rather someone did it and then kept watching the inbox afterwards, that is what we do.
