The picture
Drawn side by side.

A tick means the check is shown. A dash means we found no such check on the pages we read, which is not proof it does not exist.

How Warmerly does it
Warmerly, in detail.
A deeper check than does the record exist, run every 6 hours, with the record to paste where it can.
01
More than does the record exist
SPF is checked for its ending, the limit of 10 DNS lookups and broken terms. DKIM is checked for key length and the t=y test flag. DMARC is checked for p=, sp=, pct= and rua=. MX is checked for presence.

02
Every 6 hours
The DNS sweep runs every 6 hours across every mailbox that is not dead or paused, and the Health tab has a Re-check now option.

03
A written finding with a fix
Each finding has a title, an explanation and a fix. Where it can, the card shows the record to paste.

Blocklists and DMARC reports
Warmerly queries 6 domain and 10 IP blocklists. Free DMARC report monitoring covers up to 10 domains per workspace.

05
Where Warmerly is behind
QuickMail says it checks 96 blacklists daily, a larger list than Warmerly's 16 zones.

06
A failed lookup is not a listing
Blocklists answer a refused query with codes that look like listings. Warmerly classifies each zone's codes itself, so a refusal shows as unknown and never as listed. An unknown check is never shown green.

07
Coverage is shown, not just status
A result reads as clean on a number of lists, so clean on 13 and clean on the 3 that answered while 10 refused are not the same row. A partial answer shows amber with the count.

The 16 lists are named
Domain zones are Spamhaus DBL, SURBL, URIBL, NordSpam DBL, Spam Eating Monkey URI and s5h. IP zones are Spamhaus ZEN, SpamCop, Barracuda, PSBL, Mailspike, NordSpam, Spam Eating Monkey, Lashback UBL, DroneBL and GBUdb Truncate.

09
The record is merged, not replaced
Under a failing SPF chip the card shows the exact record to publish, merged into the SPF already published so old terms stay and the provider is added before the all term. A missing DMARC record is suggested as monitor-only, p=none.

How QuickMail does it
QuickMail, in detail.
A domain health table with SPF, DKIM and blacklist columns, plus a help article on adding all three records.
01
Domain Health Monitor
The table has 8 sections: name, deliverability score, email volume and link volume for 24 hours, SPF, DKIM, blacklist and last checked.

02
96 blacklists
Its deliverability page cites daily monitoring of 96 blacklists, with alerts when a domain is listed and when it is cleared.

03
DMARC
A help article explains how to add SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. The Domain Health Monitor columns do not include DMARC.

Done for you on bought inboxes
For Google inboxes bought through QuickMail, it says DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and custom tracking domains are configured automatically.

05
A staged DMARC rollout
Its authentication guide starts with p=none and an rua address, moves to quarantine at pct=100 after reading the reports, and ends at reject. It warns against jumping straight to reject.

Plain advice on SPF
It says to keep one SPF record per domain, merge providers into it, use ~all while starting out and never +all.

07
BIMI as an extra
It covers BIMI, the brand logo in the inbox, and says it is cosmetic and not needed for deliverability. It needs a DMARC policy of quarantine or reject at 100%, an SVG logo and optionally a certificate.

08
Alerts when listed and when cleared
Its deliverability page says you are told at once if a sending domain is blacklisted, and again as soon as it is cleared.

09
DKIM in the Deliverability Report
The weekly report tests SPF and DKIM too, but only one provider's DKIM per report, so DKIM often shows yellow as skipped. That report is on Growth and Agency only.

What QuickMail does not say
We looked, and found no statement on these. That is about its published pages only, not about the product.
- How often the SPF and DKIM tests run
- Which 96 blacklists are checked
- A per-finding fix in the monitor

In practice
What it means for you.
Our reading of the facts above. Not a promise, and not the only reasonable reading.
A longer list is not a deeper check
QuickMail names 96 blacklists, against Warmerly's 16 zones. Warmerly's records checks go further, and tell you how to fix each finding.
DMARC matters now
Google and others ask bulk senders for a DMARC record. Warmerly checks yours, and QuickMail's monitor columns do not list it.
If QuickMail sets up your inboxes
Records are configured for you on inboxes bought there, so there is less to check yourself.
Both advise the same start
QuickMail's guide and Warmerly's suggestion both start DMARC at p=none, so you can read reports before enforcing. Warmerly reads reports for you at no charge for up to 10 domains, on a dmarc address it hosts.
Clean should mean it was checked
A blocklist check that quietly failed looks the same as a clean one unless the tool says otherwise. Warmerly shows how many lists answered. QuickMail does not say how its 96 are reported when one cannot be reached.
Who it suits
Pick the one that fits.
Warmerly
Warmerly is the better fit if
- You want DMARC checked and a fix for each finding
- You want checks every 6 hours

QuickMail
QuickMail is the better fit if
- You want the widest list of blacklists checked
- You buy inboxes through QuickMail and want DNS done for you
- You want an alert both when a domain is listed and when it is cleared
- You want the longer written guide to SPF, DKIM, DMARC and BIMI inside the help centre
