Introducing SPF, DMARC and BIMI Builders
Writing an SPF, DMARC or BIMI record by hand is easy to get wrong in ways that are hard to spot just by reading the string back. A missing space, a forgotten semicolon, or a tag in the wrong place can silently break the record — and most tools that check published records won't help you before you've published anything.
What's new
Three new tools are now available under Tools → Build:
- SPF Builder & Validator — pick the platforms that send mail for your domain, add any custom IPs or includes, and get a ready-to-publish record with a live DNS lookup counter.
- DMARC Builder & Validator — set policy, reporting and alignment with guided defaults, including plain-language warnings before you enable anything with real privacy implications, like forensic reporting.
- BIMI Builder & Validator — assemble a logo and Verified Mark Certificate reference into a valid record.
Each tool has two modes: Build, which generates a record from a form, and Validate, where you can paste a record you already wrote and have it checked against the relevant RFC syntax — including the kind of typo a simple find-and-replace won't catch, like a mechanism glued onto the end of a domain with no space between them.
Why this is different from the existing analyzers
The SPF Analyzer and DMARC Analyzer look up a record that's already live in DNS for a real domain. The new builders don't need a domain at all — everything runs client-side, in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server or logged, which makes them a safe place to draft a record before you're ready to publish it.
