62/100ReportLikely junk
Fail

DMARC. Gmail can't confirm this came from harbourbakery.co, and your policy tells it to junk it.

Fix

SPF. Mailchimp isn't on your list of approved senders. Edit your SPF record to:v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:servers.mcsv.net ~all

Pass

Encryption and reverse DNS. Nothing to do.

Checked against the sender rules of Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo, the rules that decide inbox or junk.

A report you can act on

Most tools stop at a score. Ours tells you what each result means for your business and gives you the change to make.

  • The exact fix, ready to pasteRecords are filled in for your domain and the service that sent the email.
  • What Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo will doA pass or fail against each provider's published sender rules.

How it works

No software to install and nothing to configure. If you can send an email, you can run the test.

  1. Get your private address

    Enter your business email. We send your test address to that inbox, which also shows the domain is yours.

    To: a3f9kx2m@goingtojunk.com

  2. Send it a normal email

    From Outlook, Gmail for business, your website's contact form, Xero, Mailchimp or your CRM. Send it the way you usually would.

  3. Read your report

    A score out of 100, a result for every check and the exact fix for each problem. Make the change, send another email and watch the score rise.

Questions

Anything else? Contact us.

Do you read my emails?

No. We read the headers, the technical envelope details, and check your domain's public DNS records. We never store the body of your email.

Why do I have to use my business email address?

We test the domain after the @, and you can only fix settings on a domain you control. We send your test address to that inbox, which also shows us the domain is yours. Gmail or Outlook.com addresses won't work, because Google and Microsoft control those settings.

How many free tests do I get?

You get 1 free test for each domain every 90 days, with a full report and the exact fix for each problem. Fixing usually takes a few rounds of changing a setting and testing again; Basic and Pro cover those follow-up tests.

How long does the offer last?

The offer price is held for you for 3 days from your first visit. Basic is $9.99 instead of $19. Pro is $29 for your first year, then renews at the standard $49 a year.

What does the AI technical assistant do?

It comes with Pro and sits under each of your reports. Ask things like “How do I add this in GoDaddy?” or “How do I turn on DKIM in Microsoft 365?” and get click-by-click steps using the records from your report. It never asks for your passwords.

Does a good score guarantee the inbox?

No tool can promise that. Mailbox providers also weigh your sending history and how people respond to your email. Most junk-folder problems come from the setup issues we check, and those are the ones you can fix today.

Can I cancel Pro?

Yes. Turn off renewal at any time and Pro keeps working until the end of the year you've paid for. Basic is a one-off purchase with no renewal.
