What is Domain Scanner?

This tool will help you identify all possible issues with your domain, saving you time by checking all of your combined records for any issues or correctness. The domain scanner provides an overall result for all four authentication protocols: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI.

  • SPF, which stands for Sender Policy Framework, is an email authentication protocol that helps to prevent spoofing and phishing by verifying the domain of the 5321.MailFrom or Return-Path address.
  • DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication protocol that helps to prevent spoofing and phishing by allowing the sender to digitally sign the emails they send.
  • DMARC, which stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance, is an email authentication protocol that helps to prevent email spoofing. DMARC allows the owner of a domain to specify which mechanisms (such as SPF and DKIM) are used to authenticate emails sent from their domain, and what to do if an email fails authentication.
  • BIMI, which stands for Brand Indicators for Message Identification, is a proposed email authentication standard that allows brands to display their logo in the email client of participating mailbox providers.

If the Domain Scanner identifies any issues, you can view them and click on "See more" for detailed information. This will redirect you to the specific protocol’s lookup tool to detect and diagnose the error.

In addition, MSPs can benefit by exporting their customers' domain overall results as a PDF and sending it to them for peace of mind. We also offer an embed feature that allows you to add the domain scanner to your website with just a few clicks.
