Manual Configuration Steps

Medium dkim Enable DKIM for Google Workspace

DKIM is only configured for third-party services, not your primary email platform (Google Workspace). Enable DKIM signing in Google Workspace settings to cover all outbound mail.

RFC 6376 §2.1
Medium dkim Upgrade DKIM keys to 2048-bit

Rotate your DKIM keys to use 2048-bit RSA. Most email providers support this in their admin console.

RFC 6376 §3.3.3
Low dane Deploy DANE/TLSA for mail transport

Since DNSSEC is already active, you can add TLSA records for your MX hosts to enable DANE. This cryptographically pins TLS certificates for mail delivery.

RFC 6698

Done making changes?

Straight talk about your data.

We use two cookies, both essential:

  • _csrf — Prevents cross-site request forgery. Required for form submissions. Security-only.
  • _dns_session — Only exists if you choose to sign in. No account required to use DNS Tool.

We log your IP address for two reasons: rate limiting (so nobody abuses the service) and security (identifying malicious actors and complying with legal obligations). We check source geography for analysis accuracy — DNS responses vary by region, and knowing which resolver answered from where makes the science better.

No tracking cookies. No analytics cookies. No ad networks. No data brokers. Our code is open-core — the application framework is publicly available under BUSL-1.1 with timed Apache-2.0 conversion. Verify it yourself.

If you create an account and want out, account deletion removes your login and scan history. Public domain analyses remain available because they contain only public DNS records, already hashed. Full details: Privacy Policy.
