Who This Topic Is For
Owners and agencies who need a daily answer on one sending domain, then a draft they can publish.
Help
Mail Watch
Daily SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and blacklist checks for one sending domain. $12 per month or $120 per year. The first day is quiet.
Prerequisites
Before You Start
Use this checklist to make sure the workflow guidance applies cleanly to your current task.
- You can sign in and open Mail Watch.
- You know the sending domain, not only the website URL.
Expectations
What To Expect
Use this section to set the right outcome before you start the workflow.
A quiet first day
Open the domain and read the summary. No email on day one means the baseline was stored.
Mail only for a new gap
A blacklist listing or a removed DMARC record that was not in the baseline is what sends mail.
Builders stay drafts
The SPF and DMARC links write text in the browser. They do not publish DNS and they do not start the subscription.
Website Watch stays separate
A weekly Deep website scan can mention mail findings for that site. Mail Watch is the daily product for the sending domain.
Playbook
Step-By-Step Guidance
Follow these steps in order for a reliable and repeatable outcome.
Open Mail Watch and add the domain.
Choose monthly or yearly. The first domain opens checkout at $12 or $120.
Later domains confirm the prorated charge when the paid quantity is full.
Read the first summary.
Existing SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and blacklist gaps are listed and not emailed. That quiet day is the expected start.
Draft a fix only if you want one.
Use the builder link on a failing row. Publish the record at your DNS host, then wait for the next daily check to read the live value.
Set who should hear about a change.
Save alerts stores extra recipients. Set quiet hours if overnight mail should wait.
Mute a fingerprint you already accept.
Examples
Worked Examples
These scenarios show how the workflow looks in practice, including the result you should see.
SPF was already missing
The first check records the missing SPF record and stays quiet. Publishing SPF later does not email that old gap again.
A second domain needs a seat
The account already has one occupied domain. Adding another asks for the prorated charge and the new monthly or yearly total.
Cancel did not drop the seat today
Cancel on an unused domain keeps the seat until the period ends.
Operations
Operational Playbook
Use this long-form guidance to execute the workflow consistently across planning, implementation, and validation.
Who it is for
Use Mail Watch when a domain sends mail and you want to know the day SPF, DKIM, DMARC, or a blacklist listing changes. It is a per-domain subscription, separate from Website Watch.
What you pay
The first domain is $12 per month or $120 per year. When every paid seat is occupied, the next domain asks you to confirm the prorated charge and the new total before quantity increases.
What day one does
The first successful check stores the failing signals it already sees. It does not email that list. Mail starts when a later day finds a fingerprint that was not in the baseline and is not muted.
What you can do next
Each failing row can open the SPF or DMARC builder with the domain filled in. Copy the draft, publish it at your DNS host, then let the next daily check read the live record.
Who else gets mail
Save alerts stores up to five extra addresses. Quiet hours hold a check until the window ends. Mute one fingerprint when you accept that gap. Unmute from the same domain page.
How cancel works
Pause keeps the seat and stops checks. Cancel domain asks you to confirm. The paid seat drops at the end of the period. There is no mid-cycle refund, and you can reuse that seat until then.
Validation
Validation Checklist
Use this checklist to confirm the workflow was completed correctly.
- The first day stored a summary and sent no email.
- A later new fingerprint emailed, or waited for quiet hours.
- A muted fingerprint stayed out of new mail.
Troubleshooting
Common Problems And Fixes
If something does not match expectation, check these common failure modes first.
I expected mail on the first day
The first successful check is the baseline. Open the domain summary. Email starts on a later new failing signal.
The builder opened a blank domain
Open Build a replacement record or Build a DMARC record from the saved domain page so the domain is filled in. Publishing still happens at your DNS host.
Checkout said the price does not match
Mail Watch is $12 per month or $120 per year. An admin replaces the Stripe Price ID when the saved amount is different.
