See which mail servers receive email for a domain, in priority order.
Your lookup is sent to WeVivid's server, which asks DNS on your behalf. We don't store the domains you check.
About mx record lookup
MX records tell the internet which mail servers receive email for a domain, in order of priority.
Priority
The lowest number is tried first. Higher numbers are backups that take over if the first server is unreachable.
Troubleshooting email
No MX records usually means the domain cannot receive mail.
Check that the records match the mail provider's instructions.
Pair them with SPF, DKIM and DMARC TXT records to improve delivery.
A worked example
A domain using Google Workspace lists records such as priority 1 aspmx.l.google.com and priority 5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. Mail goes to the lowest number first and falls back to the others if it is unreachable. Check that the hosts match what your provider tells you to use.
If mail is not arriving
Make sure there is no old MX record from a previous provider.
Check that the SPF, DKIM and DMARC TXT records are present.
MX targets must be host names, not IP addresses.

Your privacy on this tool
This check needs a server, so here is exactly what happens to what you type.
✓The domain, URL or IP address you enter is sent to our server over an encrypted connection.
✓Our server contacts the public website, DNS or WHOIS data on your behalf and returns the result to you.
✓We use it only to produce that result. We do not save the domains or URLs you check in a database or build profiles from them.
✓Like any web server, our hosting provider may keep standard technical logs, such as IP address, time and requested address, for security and reliability for a limited period.
✓No files are involved. Please do not enter passwords, private links or other secrets.
✓No account, email address or sign-up is needed, and nothing is watermarked.
✓If you accept analytics, we count page views and tool use. We never collect the contents of your files or text.
✓Ads, where shown, sit below the tool and are not given what you enter.
