Email authentication

When to use: “Check SPF/DKIM/DMARC”, mail in spam, or you’re standing up a new sending domain.

Email authentication runs read-only DNS lookups for SPF, DKIM, DMARC (and related records like MX/PTR when relevant). It scores what’s published vs missing. It does not change DNS or ESP settings.

I’ll look up DNS for SPF/DKIM/DMARC (and related records), score each factor, and tell you what’s missing — read-only; I won’t change DNS.

  • A per-factor scorecard (pass / warn / fail / unverified)
  • Plain-language notes on what’s broken (e.g. missing SPF, multiple SPF records)
  • No silent “all good” when a lookup failed — unverified stays unverified

No OutboundSync API key. Install:

Terminal window
npx skills add outboundsync/skills --skill email-authentication -g

More setup: Install skills. Lookup methods: skills/email-authentication/.
