MXToolbox<\/a> was the first tool I ever used to figure out an email problem. Someone’s mail wasn’t arriving; I searched for a way to check the records, and there it was. Free, no signup, instant answer. I’ve probably run a few thousand lookups on it since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at some point the workflow started to become a drag. Every check has its own page, so you run the blacklist lookup, then the SPF lookup, then the DMARC lookup, and then you stand there putting together the picture yourself. Nothing runs on a schedule, which means staying up to date is just you, manually, repeating the same four checks every Monday. And if you want ongoing monitoring instead of one-off answers, you’re looking at $129 a month for Delivery Center or $399 for Delivery Center Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there’s a bigger problem, the one that sent me looking. I’ve had plenty of situations where every record passed, no blacklist had the IP, nothing came back wrong anywhere, and the mail was still going to spam. MXToolbox couldn’t explain it, because that’s not what it measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no single replacement that does everything MXToolbox does. But depending on what you need, several of these do their part considerably better. Here’s what each one is good for, what it costs, and where I’d send you first depending on the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n
