WarmInboxes Free Deliverability Tools

Query any DNS record type for a domain: MX, TXT, A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, SOA, CAA.

Get a domain's registrar, creation date, expiry date and days remaining, over RDAP with a WHOIS fallback for ccTLDs that publish no RDAP service. Domain age is one of the strongest cold-email risk signals.

For "this domain used to land and now it does not". Checks the domain against SURBL, its authentication, its age and the address its website resolves to, and returns a verdict by elimination (listed, broken, young, clean or unknown) with what it rules out. No reputation score: receivers hold that privately. The Spamhaus DBL needs a paid key and is reported as not checked, never as clean.

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, BIMI and MTA-STS for one domain in one call, each judged pass, weak, fail or not set, with the essentials separated from the optional records. BIMI and MTA-STS are optional and come back "absent", never failed. Use it when someone has been told to "fix their email authentication" and does not know which record that means.

Tell whether a domain is already attached to a Google Workspace account, or is clear for a fresh Google tenant.

Validate a domain's _mta-sts DNS record and its published policy file: mode, MX patterns, max_age and TLS-RPT.

Get the NS records and the DNS provider behind one domain or a whole list. Useful for working out who actually controls a domain's DNS before trying to fix its records.

The PTR record for an IPv4 or IPv6 address, and the forward lookup that decides whether it counts. Reverse DNS is delegated to whoever holds the address block, so a PTR alone proves nothing — the operator of an IP can point it at any hostname, including one they do not own. Only the round trip is evidence: PTR names a host, that host resolves back to the same address. That pair is forward-confirmed reverse DNS (FCrDNS), it is what Google and Yahoo mean when they list forward and reverse DNS among their bulk sender requirements, and it is what `fcrdns` reports. Over IPv6 it is stricter still: G…

Look up a domain's SPF record and validate it, including the recursive DNS lookup count that silently breaks SPF past 10.

Read a host's TLS certificate: issuer, validity dates and days remaining, subject alternative names, key type and size, signature algorithm, chain, negotiated protocol and whether the chain is trusted and covers the hostname. Use it on an MTA-STS policy host (mta-sts.<domain>) or a click-tracking domain, where an expired certificate stops mail or turns every click into a browser warning. Port 25 is not reachable from serverless, so the certificate an MX host presents cannot be read this way.

Check a campaign list against a do-not-contact list before sending: exact email matches and, optionally, whole suppressed domains, with a per-company cap. Returns what was removed and why, and the clean CSV when it is 500 rows or fewer.

Check domains against the SURBL URI blacklist in bulk. URI blacklists list the domains that appear inside a message body, so a listed tracking or landing domain sends the whole email to spam however clean the sender is. Up to 100 domains per call.

Check the domain a campaign's tracked links point at: whether it resolves, serves a valid certificate, is listed on SURBL, sits on a listed address, belongs under the sending domain, and whether it is a platform's shared tracking host. A listed tracking domain is in the body of every message, which is what content filters hash.

Clean a lead CSV: malformed, duplicate, role-based (info@, sales@) and disposable addresses removed, with a count for each reason. Returns the cleaned CSV when it is 500 rows or fewer; a larger file is summarised and the person is sent to the page to download the full result. Does not verify mailboxes exist.

Directs the person to Cold Email AI, the WarmInboxes cold email writing assistant at https://warminboxes.com/AI (a custom GPT on ChatGPT). Does not generate email copy itself; the result gives the link and names the tools here that check a draft (analyze_cold_email, preview_inbox, expand_spintax).

Merge several lead CSVs into one, matching columns that mean the same thing (Email, email_address, E-mail), optionally removing duplicate emails and adding a column for the file each row came from. Returns the combined CSV when it is 500 rows or fewer. POST JSON: files is an array.

Rename a lead CSV's columns to the fields a sequencer imports (Instantly, Smartlead, EmailBison, or generic snake_case). Every row and column is kept; only the header changes, and columns with no standard field keep a snake_case name for custom variables. Returns the mapping, and the converted CSV when it is 500 rows or fewer.

Expand a spintax template such as "{Hi|Hey} there" and render its Liquid merge tags, returning the total number of variations, every variable the template references, any variable with no value and no default, and a set of rendered samples. Use it to check a sequence before it sends.

Searches WarmInboxes' own catalogue of about 1,000 free B2B lead lists, by industry, role and country, as published at https://warminboxes.com/leads. It does not search the web or any other database. Returns the best-matching lists with lead counts, verified email counts and each list's page. Lists are emailed to the person from that page; this tool cannot request or download a list.

Search what WarmInboxes publishes: cold email guides, deliverability playbooks, original studies and their datasets, costed infrastructure recipes, tool demo videos, inbox guides per sequencer and AI agent, provider comparisons, Claude skills, the changelog, and the offer and about pages. Searches titles and full text, and each match carries the passage that best answers the query. It holds WarmInboxes' own measurements (monthly inbox placement tests, sender reputation by TLD, a SURBL study) as well as guides. read_resource returns a whole page.

Find the WarmInboxes free tool for a task ("check my email headers", "clean a CSV", "will this land in spam") and say how to use it: the MCP tool to call here, or the page to send the person to when it runs only in the browser. Call with no task to list every tool.

Write an SPF record from the providers that send for a domain (with an estimate of its DNS lookups against the limit of 10), a DMARC record from a policy, and where a provider publishes DKIM. Returns host, type and value to publish. It writes records; to check what is published, use check_spf, check_dmarc and check_dkim.

Build a CAN-SPAM and GDPR compliant opt-out footer in plain text and HTML, with a checklist saying which compliance requirements the details given actually satisfy. A footer with no postal address is the usual failure.

The WarmInboxes price list as data: prewarmed and fresh inboxes on Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Azure, every billing cycle, the safe daily send pace per inbox, and delivery time. For a costed fleet for a volume, use plan_infrastructure.

Look up a domain's MX records with priorities and resolved IPs, and identify the mailbox provider (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, Fastmail and others) and any security gateway in front of it (Mimecast, Proofpoint, Barracuda and others). Pass `domains` instead of `domain` for up to 100 at once, which also returns a provider breakdown. Reports a null MX (RFC 7505) rather than treating it as a broken record, and does not guess the provider behind a gateway, because that is not observable from the MX.

Every TXT record on a domain, with each one identified (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, BIMI, or which service's ownership token it is), plus the four underscore names a receiver reads — _dmarc, _mta-sts, _smtp._tls and default._bimi — in the same lookup. Names the three mistakes that are invisible from reading the records: more than one SPF record, which makes a receiver return permerror so SPF fails entirely; a DMARC or DKIM record published at the apex, where nothing will ever read it; and a record longer than one 255-byte TXT string. Use this before concluding a record is missing, beca…

Estimates a sending fleet for a recipient list. Looks up the MX records of up to 100 recipient domains (or addresses) to measure the Google / Microsoft / other mix, then sizes a Google Workspace pool for the Google recipients and an Azure pool (Microsoft 365 with microsoftEsp) for the Microsoft ones: inbox count, domain count, per-inbox pace and monthly cost for each, plus totals. Recipients that are neither (gateways, self-hosted, no MX) are added to the Google pool and their share is reported, because what sits behind a gateway cannot be seen from MX. For a longer list, send a sample: the es…

Estimates how many inboxes and domains a daily cold email volume needs and the monthly cost at WarmInboxes' published prices. Inputs: emailsPerDay; optionally the provider (esp), prewarmed or fresh, billing cycle, emails per inbox per day and inboxes per domain. With dealValue (and optionally closeRate and positiveRate) it adds a revenue and ROI projection from those inputs. Assumes the provider's default daily pace per inbox unless emailsPerMailbox is given, and 22 sending days a month. The result is a planning estimate: it orders nothing, does not guarantee placement or replies, and its reve…

Suggests a two-batch inbox rotation schedule: the fleet split in half, one batch sending while the other rests, swapped every 1, 2 or 4 weeks. Returns batch sizes, the daily load per active inbox compared with a 15-a-day pace, how many inboxes the volume needs at that pace, and an eight-week calendar. A suggested schedule only: it does not pause, resume or change any inbox or sequencer.

Price an email verification waterfall: the list run through verifiers in sequence with unknowns passed down the chain, every order compared, cheapest cost per usable email first. Uses typical figures for three verifiers unless you pass your own prices and resolve rates (POST JSON for verifiers).

Show how a cold email's sender name, subject line and preview text are cut off in Gmail desktop, Gmail mobile and Outlook, with warnings (no sender name, all caps, empty preview, etc.). Use it to check a subject line fits before sending.

Prices a given number of inboxes at WarmInboxes' published prices: the domains (or Azure tenants) they sit on, daily sending capacity at the provider's pace, monthly cost and delivery time. Use it when the person already knows the count ("preview 100 inboxes"); for a send volume use plan_infrastructure. Azure is sold by the tenant, so a count that does not fill one is quoted for the tenants it needs, with a note. A quote only: it orders nothing, and the exact preview with real domain and mailbox names is in the app or on the purchasing server.

Read a WarmInboxes guide, study, playbook, dataset, recipe, comparison or changelog entry in full, as markdown. Long pages come in parts split at headings: the first call says how many, and nextPart gives the one to ask for. Datasets also return their data as JSON. Use the url find_resources gave you.

Split a list of domains by the email provider behind them (Google, Microsoft, or a security gateway) from their MX records. Sending Google-to-Google and Microsoft-to-Microsoft is one of the larger levers on inbox placement.

Explains how to check a domain on the Spamhaus Domain Block List by hand at https://check.spamhaus.org. Does not query the Spamhaus DBL (it needs a paid key) and never returns a listing verdict: the result states that nothing was checked, gives Spamhaus's own lookup, and names the blocklist checks this server does run (check_surbl, check_blacklist).

Check email addresses for syntax, live MX records, disposable providers and role prefixes (info@, sales@). Does not open SMTP connections, so catch-all domains come back valid.
