Email Deliverability

Checks the live DNS records for your domains against the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records OpenPanel expects, and shows whether email sent from each domain is likely to be trusted by recipient mail servers.

Overview​

Go to OpenPanel > Emails > Email Deliverability to see a table of all your domains with a status badge for each record:

ColumnDescription
DomainThe domain being checked
SPFStatus of the domain's SPF TXT record
DKIMStatus of the mail._domainkey DKIM TXT record
DMARCStatus of the _dmarc DMARC TXT record
OptionsDetails button, opens the full record comparison for that domain

Records are checked live via DNS lookup, so each row briefly shows "Checking..." before the status badge loads.

Status badges​

BadgeMeaning
OKThe record is published and matches what OpenPanel expects
MissingNo matching TXT record was found
MismatchA DKIM record was found, but its value does not match the key generated for this server
Wrong IPAn SPF record was found, but it does not include this server's IP address

Viewing record details​

Click Details next to a domain to see, for each of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC:

  • Current: the value currently published in DNS for that record (or "Not found" if none exists)
  • Expected: the value OpenPanel expects, based on this server's configuration

Use this comparison to update your DNS zone so that the current value matches the expected one.
