mxcheck examples

mxcheck is a command line tool. Therefore all examples are using your local terminal. Quickstart A minimal run just needs the -s flag. The flag provides the service that is going to be checked. mxcheck queries all MX entries and then gathers more DNS information.

It also checks if the server leaks information by supporting the VRFY command.
