Features

Everything InboxAlarm watches, and what it deliberately doesn't do.

SPF validity + lookup counting

Record presence, syntax, and the 10-DNS-lookup limit counted recursively through includes — with warnings before you hit the wall.

DKIM selector checks

Validates your selectors' published keys; catches stale or revoked keys after rotations.

DMARC policy monitoring

Policy strength (none → quarantine → reject), alignment, and rua reporting status.

Blocklist monitoring

Major DNSBLs checked on schedule. A refused or inconclusive query is reported as inconclusive — never as “clean” or “listed”.

Baseline drift detection

Every check diffs against your captured baseline; any change to auth records fires a critical alert.

Inbox placement tests (roadmap)

Seed-network placement tests are in development and are not part of any plan today. We will sell them when a real seed network exists — and label the results directional samples even then.

Multi-channel alerting

Email on every plan; Slack + SMS on Growth and up. Critical-only SMS so your phone stays quiet.

Guided DNS repair

Each alert names the exact failing record and what changed — a missing record, a lookup count against the 10 limit, a drifted policy — so the fix is obvious. Step-by-step repair guides, including per-registrar steps, are on the roadmap.

REST API (Agency)

Health scores, alerts, and baselines programmatically.

Sample · what you actually receive

Anatomy of an alarm: the failing record, named.

No raw error dump. Each alarm diffs the live record against your captured baseline and shows exactly what changed, why it matters, and the record to fix.

SPF lookup count: 9 → 11 of 10

A new sending tool added an include — SPF now exceeds the limit and fails

The fix, in the alarm itself

Remove or flatten the stale include, then re-check against the baseline

Monitoring continues on your plan’s cadence from the repaired state

Honest scope: what's real today

We'd rather tell you what's roadmap than let you discover it after signup.

Area	v1 reality
Sending email	InboxAlarm doesn't send mail. It's a monitor for the plumbing of mail you send elsewhere.
Content checks	No spam-word or copy checking in v1 — infrastructure signals only (auth, blocklists, drift).
SSO/SAML	Not in v1. Agency gets multi-seat access without SSO.
Placement tests	Not built yet — on the roadmap. We don't sell placement tests until a real seed network exists; when it ships, results will be labeled directional samples, never guarantees of inboxing.
