Check DNS, mail records and blacklists for your domains with MXToolbox, by phone.

Connect MXToolbox and your agent can run network and email checks while it is on the phone. A customer asks whether your mail domain is set up correctly, or a partner wants to confirm your MX records. Your agent looks up the record, reads the result back in plain language, and can note the answer in your records. It works with DNS, MX, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS, HTTP and blacklist lookups. Your agent only reads the results. Nothing on your domains changes.

What your agent can do with MXToolbox

  • Look up DNS, MX, DKIM, DMARC and BIMI records for a domain during a call
  • Check whether a domain or IP address appears on common blacklists before you send mail
  • Confirm MTA-STS policy and HTTP connectivity for a website or mail domain
  • Read results back in plain language so non-technical callers understand the answer

MXToolbox exposes 13 actions. You choose which ones the agent may use and whether each runs during or after the call.

Example calls

Client asks if their email is set up correctly

  1. Caller

    Hi, our invoices keep landing in spam. Can someone check our domain setup?

  2. Agent

    Sure. Which domain should I check?

  3. Caller

    It's brightleafdesign.co.

  4. Agent

    Thanks. The DMARC record is present, but the DKIM record for the main sending selector is missing. I can log that for our team and have an engineer call you back on Thursday morning.

Partner confirms mail servers before a migration

  1. Caller

    We're moving our mail next week. What are your current MX records?

  2. Agent

    Our MX records point to two servers at priority 10 and 20. Would you like me to check the MTA-STS policy too?

  3. Caller

    Yes, please.

  4. Agent

    The MTA-STS record is published and set to enforce. I'll send you the full record list by email.

Outbound check after a blacklist warning

  1. Agent

    Hello, this is Maya calling from Northgate Dental. We got a notice that our sending IP may be listed. Is this a good time to check?

  2. Caller

    Yes, go ahead.

  3. Agent

    Our sending IP is clear on the main blacklists. The only listing is on one lower-tier list, which usually clears within a day. I'll note it and call you back tomorrow to confirm.
