I am trying to send cold email campaigns but on mxtoolbox but I see following errors: 1. No SPF Record found 2. No DMARC Record found I just wanted to know does these error have significant impact on delivery rate & IP/Domain reputation?
s
100%. SPF, DMARC and DKIM records will directly impact your email deliverability.
IP / Domain reputation are built on top of these records. Super simple to create and setup but is most often overlooked when setting up a domain for sending out email.
e
Is there any tool which resolves all these error? Or do I need to manuall resolve all these errors?
s
THey’re DNS records you setup against your domain with values generated by your mail server. This is not a one touch solution. You need to look up your mail server documentation / setup section to see what the values are.

I have bought myapp.com domain and and using trymyapp.com domain to send emails. I have setup everything for myapp.com domain and for trymyapp.com I am using redirect on namecheap with email forwarding. After checking on mxtoolbox I see trymyapp.com has 2 blacklist errors 
Blacklisted by UCEPROTECTL3
eforward2.registrar-servers.com Was this blacklist because I am using email forward and redirect on namecheap?
Why I have seperate domain for sending emails because I want to protect original domain. Because if original domain is compromised then it will impact domain/IP reputation which will then also impact SEO and Ads
s
Forwarding is used when you want to receive emails. SPF, DMARC and DKIM are all used to verify you, the sender when you send out emails.
e
Yes but I have bought trymyapp.com domain recently not sent a single email. Only email forwarding and redirect is added on namecheap. Why on mxtoolbox I see errors in blacklist column? Is it due to email forwarding and redirect?
s
Its not because of Forwarding OR Redirection.
How are you sending the emails? From your personal laptop / desktop at home?
e
Personal laptop. I have not sent single email as of now. Using trymyapp.com domain
s
So you are receiving these emails with blacklist information?
e
sorry did not get you.

1. What are you trying to do? 2. Where are you seeing this information? 3. What are you checking mxtoolbox against your domain for?
e
1. I am trying to send emails using trymyapp.com domain instead of using myapp.com domain. Currently I have only setup redirect from trymyapp.com to myapp.com on namecheap and email forwarding. 2. I am checking email health check on mxtoolbox for trymyapp.com domain 3. I am checking blacklist section and problems

This has no bearing. This forwarding is only for receiving email.
e
But I did check receiving and sending both working. I am receiving email on aditya@trymyapp.com and sending is also working.

I am checking email health check on mxtoolbox for trymyapp.com domain
This will obviously fail since you have not setup your DNS configuration for outbound email. This doesnt exist since you dont have a legit EMail provider giving you outbound email. Hence your DNS records will not exist. And usually, by convention, a server at example.org will have its mail records at the same location which can be found using the command 
dig <http://example.org|example.org> MX
which is where your othe DNS records for email will also auto-exist.
But I did check receiving and sending both working. I am receiving email on aditya@trymyapp.com and sending is also working.
What exactly is your problem then if everything is working?
e
on mxtoolbox I see errors in blacklist section
s
That means that the DNS records do not exist. You need to fix it. Try signing up with Sendgrid or Amazon SES so they will give you the records you can paste there.
e
I was able to setup everything but I have small query. I am verifying if everything is good eg: SPF, DMARC, MX, DKIM all set. For that I am verifying on multiple websites: 1. https://mxtoolbox.com/ 2) https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/ 3) https://www.emaillistverify.com/dns-health-checker Out of these 3 which one should I trust? because only google apps checkMX is showing me everything set and no blacklist error or any other error related to records. Other two are showing me blacklist error and SPF, DMARC record not setup

mxtoolbox is good. you can also go with mailhardener which provides additional features (and is free for 1 domain use) https://www.mailhardener.com/features
