Supported SMTP features/extensions

RDNS Validation
DKIM Validation
SPF Lookup

Alternative Body
Attachments
Base64/Quoted-printable Decoding

testing smtp server

you can test dkim validation, spf lookup and email body validation on dkimvalidator.com

please support the creators of testing servers

Client Api

client api supports pipelinening and can send multiple smtp commands in batch for faster resolution, dkim is required for mail delivery.
