MXCan servers find your inbox?Only one MX hostInfo
  • Info: Only one MX host

    All mail for google.com goes to smtp.google.com. Most hosted providers make that one name highly available; if you run your own server, consider a backup MX.

SPFWho may send as you?SPF ends in softfail (~all)Info
  • Info: SPF ends in softfail (~all)

    "~all" is common and works well with DMARC. "-all" is stricter; switch when you are sure every sender is listed.

DKIMAre your emails signed?No DKIM key found for the common selectorsNeeds attention
  • Warning: No DKIM key found for the common selectors

    None of the 47 selectors probed under google.com publish a DKIM key. DNS cannot list selectors, so a key under a custom selector may exist: find the s= value in the DKIM-Signature header of a message you sent and check that selector. If DKIM is not set up, enable it at each service that sends mail for google.com.

How to fix it

Enable DKIM for Google Workspaceinstruction

Google Workspace generates the DKIM key for each account, so the exact record must come from Google Workspace. Without DKIM, mail it sends for google.com cannot pass DMARC through DKIM.

Applies to: google._domainkey.google.com

  1. In Google Workspace, enable DKIM signing for google.com: Generate the key in Admin console > Apps > Gmail > Authenticate email, then publish the TXT record shown there. Publish exactly the record Google Workspace shows (TXT or CNAME) at the host name it gives, then turn signing on. Instructions: https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124

Prepare BIMIinstruction

BIMI shows your logo next to messages in supporting inboxes, but only for mail that passes DMARC under an enforced policy.

Applies to: default._bimi.google.com

  1. Enforce DMARC first: p=quarantine or p=reject at 100% (no pct below 100). 2. Convert your logo to an SVG Tiny PS file and host it over HTTPS, for example https://google.com/bimi/logo.svg. 3. For Gmail and Apple Mail, obtain a VMC or CMC certificate for the logo. 4. Publish a TXT record at default._bimi.google.com with v=BIMI1, l= set to the logo URL and a= set to the certificate URL.
