Check SPF and DKIM status for your domain
Tip: Before you set up email authentication, use the Google Admin Toolbox to check if SPF and DKIM is already set up. For more information.
- Before setting up your SPF or DKIM records, you can check and see if they’ve already been set up for your domain.
- You can perform this check by going to the Check MX page of your Google Admin Toolbox.
- Enter your domain name and click “Run Checks!” to see the current status of your SPF and DKIM records and if they’ve already been set up.
- After completing the checks, you will get a summary with flags showing if mail flow is:
1. Working smoothly and no action is needed.
2. Working, but indicating issues that need to be addressed.
3.Needs to be set up. - If your SPF or DKIM records are not currently set up, you can do it using our step-by-step guide in the Google Workspace Help Center.
- Now that you know the basics and checked to see if SPF and DKIM are already set up, if you still need help, we’ll take you through the set up steps.
