About Mx Toolbox
MX Toolbox is a comprehensive suite of network diagnostic and monitoring tools used by IT teams, developers, and system administrators to troubleshoot email delivery, DNS configuration, server health, and domain security. It provides instant lookups for MX records, DNS propagation, blacklist status, SSL certificates, and dozens of other infrastructure checks — all through a web interface and API.
The core problem MX Toolbox addresses is visibility into infrastructure health. When emails stop arriving, domains resolve incorrectly, or SSL certificates expire, diagnosing the issue requires checking multiple systems and services. MX Toolbox consolidates those checks into a single platform, letting you identify problems in seconds rather than spending hours running manual commands across different tools.
MX Toolbox is especially useful when integrated into monitoring and alerting workflows. Rather than manually checking your domain health, you can connect MX Toolbox to automated data processing pipelines that run scheduled checks and alert your team when something changes — a domain hitting a blacklist, a DNS record being modified, or an SSL certificate approaching expiry. Integrating these checks into your system integrations ensures infrastructure issues are caught proactively rather than discovered when a customer complains about missing emails.
If your team manages email infrastructure, DNS, or domain security and needs reliable monitoring without building custom tooling, MX Toolbox is a practical choice. Talk to our team about integrating infrastructure monitoring into your operational workflows.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Mx Toolbox
As Mx Toolbox consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Mx Toolbox with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Run a Baseline Health Check on Your Domains
Start by running MX Toolbox lookups on all your organisation’s domains. Document the current state of MX records, DNS configuration, blacklist status, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC settings. This baseline tells you where things stand before you start monitoring.
Step 2
Fix Any Issues Identified in the Baseline
Address any problems the initial checks reveal — missing SPF records, incorrect DKIM configuration, blacklist appearances, or DNS misconfigurations. These are the issues most likely to be causing email deliverability problems or leaving your domain vulnerable to spoofing.
Step 3
Set Up Continuous Monitoring
Configure MX Toolbox monitors for your critical domains. At minimum, monitor MX record health, blacklist status, SSL certificate expiry, and DNS changes. Set alert thresholds and notification channels so your team is informed promptly when something changes.
Step 4
Configure Alert Routing
Route MX Toolbox alerts to the right people and channels. Email delivery issues should reach your IT team, DNS changes should notify your infrastructure team, and SSL expiry warnings should go to whoever manages certificates. Avoid sending all alerts to one inbox where they get buried.
Step 5
Integrate with Your Incident Management Workflow
Connect MX Toolbox to your broader incident management process. When a critical alert fires — like a blacklisting or mail server outage — it should create a ticket or trigger an escalation workflow, not just send an email that someone might miss.
Step 6
Review Reports and Maintain DNS Hygiene
Review MX Toolbox reports monthly to track trends in your domain health. Clean up stale DNS records, rotate DKIM keys on schedule, and keep your SPF records updated as you add or remove email services. Consistent DNS hygiene prevents the accumulation of technical debt that causes deliverability issues.
