PTR Record Look Up (Reverse DNS)

The PTR (Pointer) record look up performs a reverse DNS look up — given an IP address, it finds the hostname that IP maps back to.

Blacklist Look Up

Looks up whether this domain's IP address (or the IP address you entered) appears on common email blacklists (DNSBL) — being listed can cause outgoing mail to be rejected or sent to spam.

How to use this tool

  • Pick a lookup type from the dropdown, or type a shortcut straight into the field — e.g. mx:example.com, all:example.com, spf:example.com, whois:example.com — and press Enter.
  • Enter a domain name (e.g. example.com), or an IP address for PTR and blacklist look ups.
  • Toggle "Also look up blacklist status" above to include a DNSBL look up alongside your search.
  • Your last 20 look ups are saved in the History panel so you can revisit them anytime.
