How to Check Whether a Domain’s Email Records Point to an Old Provider

MX or authentication records can remain at a former mail host after migration, causing split delivery or authentication failures.

Checks to make

Confirm authoritative nameservers and current MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Compare them with the active provider’s documented values and check for legacy hosts still sending. Change records carefully and verify delivery after resolver caches update.

When to get help
