Pink PostDNS and deliverability checker
Check SPF, DKIM and DMARC before you send
The DNS deliverability checker looks up your sending domain's SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and tells you which are missing or misconfigured. Fix them before your first campaign, because mailbox providers now expect all three for bulk senders.
Why it matters
Catch SPF, DKIM and DMARC problems before they cost you a domain.
The built-in checker looks up your sending domain's SPF (exactly one v=spf1 record), DKIM and DMARC records and explains what to fix. The template editor also has a spam-word check and preview.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What DKIM selector should I use?
Use the selector your provider gives you, such as google for Workspace or selector1 for Microsoft 365.
Do I need DMARC?
Yes. Start with p=none and move to quarantine once reports look clean.
Does it fix records?
No, records are edited at your DNS host; the checker tells you what to change.
Does it work with Gmail and Outlook mailboxes?
Yes. Pink Post works the same with Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Zoho, Hostinger and any SMTP/IMAP mailbox you connect.
Is dns and deliverability checker on the free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes it; plans differ by mailboxes, prospects, emails per month, users and live link checks. Free has 1 mailbox and 300 emails a month, Solo $19 has 3 mailboxes, Pro $39 has 10 and Agency $129 has 30.
How is dns and deliverability checker different from a cold email tool?
Cold email tools are designed for sales pipelines. In Pink Post every feature feeds a link deal: replies move deals, deals hold prices, and live links keep being checked, so the result of the campaign is a list of live links with their cost.
