How do I check if my SPF record is configured correctly?

Use TXT Lookup to query your domain and locate the SPF record (starts with 'v=spf1'). Verify it includes all authorized mail servers and ends with a policy (like ~all or -all). If the record is missing or improperly formatted, emails may fail authentication or be rejected by recipients.

What does it mean if I have multiple TXT records for my domain?

Domains can have multiple TXT records for different purposes - one for SPF, one for DKIM, one for DMARC, and others for service verification. TXT Lookup displays all of them so you can verify each is correctly configured. Multiple records don't cause conflicts as long as each serves its intended purpose.

Why are my emails being marked as spam despite having SPF and DKIM?

Check your DMARC policy using TXT Lookup to ensure it's set to 'reject' or 'quarantine' rather than 'none'. Also verify your SPF record doesn't have too many DNS lookups (max 10) and that DKIM signatures are valid. Poor sender reputation and content issues can also cause spam filtering regardless of authentication.

How long does it take for TXT record changes to appear in TXT Lookup?

TXT record changes typically propagate within 15 minutes to 48 hours depending on the TTL (Time To Live) value set in your DNS records. TXT Lookup queries live DNS servers, so once your DNS provider has updated the records and they've propagated globally, they'll appear immediately in the tool.

Can I use TXT Lookup to verify domain ownership for Google, Microsoft, or other services?

Yes, TXT Lookup is perfect for this purpose. When services ask you to add a verification TXT record, use this tool to confirm the record has been properly added to your domain's DNS. Simply enter your domain and look for the specific verification code or record the service provided to confirm successful verification.

Technical Information

What are TXT Records?

TXT (Text) records are DNS entries that store text information associated with a domain. They serve various purposes including email authentication, domain verification, and security protocols. TXT records can contain any text string and are commonly used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and domain ownership verification.

Key Record Types

SPF (Sender Policy Framework): Specifies which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of your domain, preventing email spoofing
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail): Uses cryptographic signatures to verify that emails originating from your domain haven't been altered in transit
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance): Builds on SPF and DKIM to provide policies for handling authentication failures and receiving reports
Domain Verification Records: Special TXT records required by services to confirm you own the domain before enabling integrations
Custom TXT Records: User-defined text records for specific applications and services requiring DNS-based configuration

How TXT Lookup Works

The tool queries DNS servers globally to retrieve all TXT records associated with your domain. It performs direct DNS lookups using standard protocols, ensuring you receive accurate, real-time information. Results are displayed in a readable format with full record content and TTL (Time To Live) values.
