Check your DMARC, SPF & DKIM configuration in seconds

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) is a standard that stops bad actors from using your domain to send emails without your permission. Without a DMARC record in place, anyone can impersonate your domain and use it to potentially launch phishing attacks.

Investigate’s unique DMARC record check will enable you to test your email domain to address these potential risks. Should Investigate uncover that you have issues with your DMARC record - for example, it might be missing, or your policy might be at 'none' - then these are problems you can solve with our automated DMARC application, Red Sift OnDMARC.

DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) is a signal for the receiving inbox that your email is digitally signed by the domain it came from, confirming that the email content has not been tampered with along the way.

Checking your SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record helps ensure that only authorized servers can send emails on your behalf, reducing the risk of email spoofing and improving deliverability.

BIMI displays validated trademarked logos for all DMARC authenticated emails.

MTA-STS enables the encryption of messages being sent between two mail servers.

FCrDNS is a strong indicator of your deliverability. If not set up properly, emails are more likely to end up in spam.

TLS verifies that the contents of your email can’t easily be snooped on by people who are not your intended recipients.

If Investigate detects errors in your email configuration, it will provide guidance on how to fix these. You can also utilize our extensive guides and knowledge base for guidance on how to fix any DMARC, SPF, or DKIM issues. 

However, should you need any further assistance with this, Red Sift is here to help you! Just reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help you.

Investigate is useful for those who are just curious about their email setup (including checking DMARC records) and want to learn more, as well as businesses who are actively working on projects to improve their email configuration. This is because the tool provides an easy-to-digest overview of your evolving setup in an instant. 

Without a tool like Investigate, you would have to wait up to 24 hours for a DMARC report to arrive that would show you if the changes you made had the desired outcome. This is a time-consuming and tedious process. Speed is of the essence for businesses working on email security projects such as DMARC, as the faster they can secure their email, the better. The instant visibility Investigate provides drastically reduces the time needed to check up on your evolving setup and speeds up the time needed until full protection is reached.

This version of Investigate is a free tool that we provide for businesses to quickly check their email configuration. It is based on the full Investigate feature that is included inside Red Sift’s OnDMARC application that protects business email.
