What are Email Security Tools?

Email security tools like MXToolbox and MX-Tester analyze and monitor email infrastructure to ensure it is properly configured and not vulnerable to abuse. They check DNS records such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, verify mail server response, and detect blacklisting or misconfigurations. These tools help prevent email spoofing, improve deliverability, and secure communication channels against phishing and spam.
