email sender lookup?
Free, no account needed, and read straight from the domain's public DNS.

This lookup is free. It needs no signup and has no credits or expiry.
Unrolls nested SPF
We follow branded includes like spf.acme.com down to the real provider underneath.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
We query the domain's public DNS records across global root resolvers. By parsing the SPF record's 'include:' mechanisms, resolving nested SPF delegations (depth 2), inspecting MX mail server exchanges, and testing known DKIM cryptographic selectors, we map the infrastructure back to known email service providers.
No. DNS records represent a permission authorization list, not a real-time sending log. An authorized provider may be actively sending millions of emails per day, or it may be an abandoned trial account from three years ago that was never removed from DNS.
The MX (Mail Exchange) record defines who receives email (e.g. employee inboxes on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365). Outbound senders (defined in SPF and DKIM) are the third-party platforms authorized to dispatch automated transactional or marketing emails on behalf of that domain (e.g. Amazon SES, SendGrid, Reloop, Mailchimp).
If a provider (such as Mailchimp or SendGrid) is listed in your SPF record but has no matching active DKIM signature published while other providers on your domain do sign with DKIM, it frequently indicates an old vendor that was replaced and forgotten.
RFC 7208 limits SPF evaluations to a maximum of 10 DNS lookups. Having multiple ESP includes (e.g. Google + SES + SendGrid + HubSpot + Zendesk) often exceeds 10 lookups, resulting in an SPF PermError that causes mailbox providers like Gmail and Yahoo to treat all your legitimate mail as unauthenticated.
Companies frequently use branded include domains (like 'include:spf.acme.com' or 'include:mail.acme.com') to hide or organize their records. Our analyzer queries those intermediate records to discover the actual underlying service (e.g. 'spf.acme.com → sendgrid.net').
Some organizations list raw IP addresses (e.g. 'ip4:203.0.113.0/24') in their SPF record instead of named provider hostnames. This indicates dedicated self-hosted mail servers, custom on-premise appliances, or IP flattening services.
Reloop allows you to replace multiple disparate transactional, broadcast, and notification ESP includes with a single high-performance sending record ('include:reloop.sh') while preserving your team's Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 inboxes.
