See which mail servers accept email for a domain, ordered by priority.
Enter a domain to look up its MX records.
An MX (Mail Exchange) record tells the internet which servers accept email for your domain, and in what order to try them. Lower priority numbers are tried first.
Misconfigured MX records are a common cause of email delivery failures. This tool lists every mail server for a domain with its priority so you can confirm mail routes where it should.
Priority (also called preference) sets the order mail servers are tried. Sending servers attempt the lowest number first. Equal priorities share load. It is not a quality ranking, just a sequence.
If a domain does not handle email, it will have no MX records, which is normal. If you expect to receive mail and see none, your email will fail to deliver until MX records are added.
No. MX records must point to a hostname (like mail.example.com), never directly to an IP. The hostname then resolves via its own A/AAAA records.
Every one runs a real check, live, with nothing to install.
A one-off check is useful, but PulseStack repeats it every minute and alerts you the moment something changes. Start free with 5 monitors, no card required.
