Email & SMTP Diagnostics
Diagnose email delivery failures at every layer of the stack: verify SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication records; probe MX routing and SMTP banners; audit TLS certificates; and check sending IPs and domains against 50+ blocklists. Use them to troubleshoot a specific deliverability problem or run a full pre-send audit of a new domain. For ongoing monitoring with alerting, see Email & Deliverability Monitoring →
Email / SMTP Diagnostics
-
Email Health
One-click domain scorecard — Blacklist, Mail Server, Web Server, and Domain Name System (DNS) checks graded Errors / Warnings / Passed, MXToolbox-style.
-
Email Records Check
Consolidated Mail Exchange (MX), Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC), and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)-selector lookup for an email domain.
-
SPF Record Checker
Look up and validate a domain's Sender Policy Framework (SPF) Text (TXT) record.
-
Email Blacklist Check
Resolve a domain's Mail Exchange (MX) hosts to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and check each against 49 IP blacklists plus the domain itself against 9 domain blacklists.
-
SMTP Banner Probe
Connect to a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server, capture its banner + EHLO capabilities, and test STARTTLS.
TLS / SSL Auditing
-
TLS/SSL Quick Scan
Probe which Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol versions a server accepts and show the cipher each negotiates.
-
TLS/SSL Deep Scan
Full chain validation, Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) stapling, Signed Certificate Timestamp (SCT) count, and per-Transport Layer Security (TLS)-version cipher matrix.
-
Domain Certificate Audit
Search Certificate Transparency logs for every Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate ever issued to a domain — reveals subdomains, issuers, and historical issuance.
Monitor this automatically
NetTests can run these checks on a schedule, preserve historical results, compare changes over time, and alert you the moment something breaks.
