FAQ

What is email deliverability?

Email deliverability refers to the ability of your emails to reach the recipient’s primary inbox rather than being filtered into the spam folder. It is influenced by your technical setup, sender reputation, and authentication.

Why are my emails going to spam?

Emails usually go to spam due to missing or misconfigured authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), poor domain reputation, being listed on a blacklist, or technical DNS errors.

What is a DNS lookup?

A DNS lookup is the process of querying the Domain Name System to find the records associated with a domain, such as its IP address (A record) or mail server (MX record).

How does mailX help with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC?

mailX provides both checkers and generators. The checkers identify if your current records are valid, while the generators help you create correct records to prevent spoofing and improve email deliverability.

What is a blacklist (DNSBL)?

A blacklist is a database of IP addresses or domains known for sending spam. If you are on a blacklist, mailbox providers like Gmail or Outlook may block your emails entirely.

Is mailX really free?

Yes, mailX provides its full suite of DNS lookup tools, email deliverability checkers, and generators 100% free with no signup required and no data stored.
