intoDNS developement

Adrian Andreias | Thursday, December 13th, 2007

The intoDNS development team has taken a small break as we plan on launching the new Elvsoft website. We haven’t forgotten about intoDNS at all and we are preparing new tests and old ones improved. It’s hard to give people good results as a lot of things changed during time, some in our disadvantage. Since it’s almost impossible to always give accurate results we plan on giving people the option to report “problems” and ask us to manually analyze a server and set the results in intoDNS as they should be. We cannot do this for free since some will be tempted to give us a lot of work for nothing, that is why we have to charge every request with a small amount of money (around $5, one time or until a new request). The price will be low and acceptable and it’s the only solution we found so far.

Examples where results will not be accurate:

SPF checks – a lot of people add a SPF record without having any clue if that record is really ok. It’s impossible to test with intoDNS or any other tool like it since we do not know if your e-mail is really going out through your MX or through another IP different than the one(s) listed as your MX.

Mail checks – The same as in the case of SPF, we do not know if your e-mail really goes out through your MX records, we only assume that.
