mxtoolbox - The tool for webmasters

mxtoolbox is the portal with which you can configure DNS settings and the entire Domain can check for errors and perform full analytics analysis. The tool is indispensable for reliable webmasters in this day and age, as all important information of a domain is summarized at a glance and all problems are obvious with the input of the domain. With mxtoolbox you can subject your domain accordingly to the named "Domain Health Check".

Domain check and support

With the tools you find on this portal you have the possibility to filter many problems. Domains can be checked specifically for problems and errors. You only have to enter the corresponding domain in the search bar. Various processes that are not apparent to you will be checked. In order to solve the problems, you also have the possibility to contact a support via E-mail or telephone to resolve the problem. The DNS settings behind this are also checked throughout by mxtoolbox. 15 different tests check the stored DNS settings and their configuration.

FootprintWeb and Mail Server Checks

Besides the domain and the website you can find much deeper problems and errors with mxtoolbox. You can check the entire web server for problems. The status is checked every 5 minutes so that you can react to problems within the shortest possible time and restore full functionality. Also every MX-record can be checked by mxtoolbox. Every MX-record, i.e. every stored e-mail server, is checked. No matter which configuration you have chosen for your e-mail system. If a problem should occur, it will be shown to you immediately.

Blacklist check

A very important tool provided with mxtoolbox is the Blacklist check. So you can always check if your domain is on a blacklist. This is often the reason for faulty mail transmissions, for example in case of email problems with the corresponding domains. mxtoolbox checks over 100 blacklists for the status of the corresponding domain and shows you if there is a warning regarding your domain. If this is the case, it will show you which blacklist has issued a warning and you can contact them directly to whitelist the domain again. The corresponding IPs can also be checked for blacklists. With mxtoolbox you also have delisting support at the same time, which helps you to be removed from the blacklist.
