info About This Tool
The MX Record Checker validates mail exchange records for email domains. Before sending campaigns, verify that recipient domains can actually receive email.
Key Features
- Complete MX Resolution - Retrieves all MX records including primary and backup servers
- Bulk Domain Validation - Process thousands of domains with parallel DNS queries
- Priority Sorting - Automatically sorts records by priority value
- Error Detection - Identifies NXDOMAIN, SERVFAIL, and timeout issues
- CSV Export - Export results for easy integration
Why Use MX Checking?
- Reduce bounce rates by filtering invalid domains before sending
- Protect sender reputation from hard bounces
- Save money on wasted email sends
- Validate lead quality before importing to CRM
Requirements
- Python 3.7+
- dnspython library (
pip install dnspython)
Pro Tip: Run MX validation before every major email campaign. Domains can lose MX records due to DNS misconfigurations, expired registrations, or business closures.
