Can anyone send fake email in your name — and do your own emails arrive?
Both come down to a handful of behind-the-scenes settings on your domain. Weak ones let fraudsters send messages that look like yours — while your real order confirmations and invoices quietly land in spam. MailControl checks whether your email is protected and trusted, shows you exactly who is sending mail in your name, and emails you urgently if your mail server ever ends up on a blacklist.

A few settings decide whether your email is trusted
Whether your email is trusted lives in your domain's settings — and those change quietly: a migration, a new tool, a well-meant edit. MailControl keeps an eye on the settings that matter, for every domain, and rolls them into one simple health view.
The three that prove your email is really you
Three settings (SPF, DKIM and DMARC) work together to prove a message genuinely came from you and let receivers block the ones that didn't. When they're missing or weak, anyone can send in your name — and your own mail is more likely to land in junk.
Where your mail goes, and your logo
MailControl also checks the setting that routes incoming mail to you (MX), and the one that can show your verified logo next to your emails in supporting inboxes (BIMI).
Keeping mail encrypted on the way
Two more settings (MTA-STS and TLS-RPT) make sure messages to your domain are delivered securely, and report back if that ever fails. MailControl watches both, so mail stays private in transit.
One simple health view
All of it, per domain, in a single view — so you can see at a glance where your email stands and which domain needs attention first, without reading a single technical record.
See exactly who sends email in your name
Mail systems around the world send back reports about every message that claims to be from your domain. On their own they're unreadable technical files. MailControl reads them for you and turns them into a plain answer: who is sending as you — and should they be?
Every sender using your name, visible
You see exactly which systems send mail as your domain — your own servers, your newsletter tool, your booking system, and anything you didn't expect to be there.
Unexpected senders get flagged
Anything sending as your domain without permission is flagged for you — with a plain-language explanation, likely causes and step-by-step fix, like every other finding in TrustCtrl.
Being blacklisted is an act-now problem
If your domain or mail server lands on an email blacklist, other systems start rejecting or junking your messages — invoices, offers, password resets. The sooner you know, the sooner you can get removed.
Always-on blacklist checking
MailControl checks the email blacklists for your domains as part of its ongoing monitoring — so you don't have to look yourself across a dozen different blacklist sites.
An urgent email the moment you're listed
Being blacklisted is one of the few things TrustCtrl emails you about immediately — because every hour on a blacklist is mail your customers never receive.
Copy-ready settings — and a guard against quiet slip-ups
Most tools stop at telling you something's missing. MailControl gives you the exact settings to add — ready to paste — and keeps watching after you've fixed them.
From problem to fixed in one paste
The setup guide gives you the ready-made settings to add (for the modern email-protection trio), so closing a gap means pasting one line into your domain settings — or handing it to your provider — not deciphering a technical manual.
A warning if protection is weakened
Protection can quietly erode — for example, a setting downgraded during a migration. MailControl warns you when your protection is weakened, not only when it's missing entirely.
MailControl — questions answered
Why do my company's emails land in spam?
A common cause is missing or weak email protection — the settings (SPF, DKIM and DMARC) that prove your mail is genuine. When they're absent or wrong, other mail systems can't verify your messages and are more likely to junk them. MailControl checks all of them for every domain and gives you copy-ready settings to close the gaps.
How do I know if someone is sending email pretending to be my domain?
Through the reports that mail systems send back about every message claiming to be from you. MailControl reads those reports and shows exactly which systems send as your domain, flagging any that shouldn't — so fake email in your name becomes visible instead of invisible.
This sounds technical — do I need to understand it?
No. MailControl rolls everything into one simple health view and explains each issue in plain language. When a fix is needed, it gives you the exact setting to paste in — or to hand to your provider or developer — so you don't need to understand the technical details yourself.
What happens if my mail server is put on a blacklist?
MailControl checks the email blacklists as part of its ongoing monitoring and emails you urgently the moment you're listed — it's one of the few things we interrupt you for. Less urgent issues wait in the dashboard and your regular summary.
