What this analysis does

Mailybox walks include and redirect chains, highlights lookup-producing mechanisms, detects recursion and duplicate dependencies, and shows where the RFC evaluation budget is being consumed.

How to use the result

Use real evidence

Paste the exact domain, header, message or configuration. The result is only as useful as the evidence supplied.

Review the findings

Mailybox separates observations from inferred causes so you can see what is known and what still needs verification.

Retest after changes

Email authentication and routing are stateful. Re-run the analysis after publishing a fix.

Interpretation matters

Email systems combine DNS, message-level evidence, provider policy and intermediate infrastructure. A single passing check is not proof that every message will deliver, and a single warning is not proof that a domain is misconfigured. Mailybox is designed to expose the evidence and the relationship between signals so the next action is clear.
