Statement of Purpose
We operate this website as a free public tool to assist email server
administrators track down and diagnose problems on their email systems.
My logs show SMTP connection attempts from you, why?
Although we have not had any major instances of abuse, we do
ocasionally get comments from system administrators who find SMTP connections
from MXToolBox.com in their logs. The signature of some of our tests,
such as the diagnostic test, look similar to open
relay scans that a spammer might perform. (In fact, that is the
point of the test!)
If you would like us to put your server in our "exclude" list, we are
happy to do that. Any user attempting to run a diagnostic on your server
will then be informed that the owner of the system does not wish it to be
tested. We actively look for signs of abuse of our systems, so for most
system admins, this is not an issue; however, if you want us to exclude
you, simply email abuse@mxtoolbox.com with
your contact information, organization name, and the IP address of your
mail server.
