MxParking
MxParking is a free service that acts similar to Domain Parking but for email with the goal of improving the free MxToolbox tools. When you point MX records of your unused domains to our system, you will be contributing that unwanted email traffic for analysis and testing of our email tools.
If you don’t use your domains for email traffic, you can point those MX records at parked.mail.mxtoolbox.com where we will be able to identify and analyze traffic sources and message signatures. To participate:
Example:
In a Bind Zone File:
yourdomain.com. IN MX 10 parked.mail.mxtoolbox.com.
At a DNS Host
| Mail for Zone |
|
Mail Server |
PREF |
| @ |
.yourdomain.com |
parked.mail.mxtoolbox.com |

Why Should I point my unused domains at MxToolbox? How does this help me?
When you direct email for your unused domains to MxParking, MxToolbox will begin analyzing that email traffic to more effectively identify different message sources and signatures. Doing this helps us to make our tools better for everybody.
The content of the messages collected are not shared with any third parties. Our software will analyze the source and type of message and store anonymized parameters along with other traffic for use by our tools.
Will pointing my domains at MxParking affect my domain’s reputation?
No. By pointing your domains at parked.mail.mxtoolbox.com you will simply be allowing our software to review and analyze this unsolicited email.
Caution: It is important to be aware that the domains you point to MxParking via MX record are not currently in use for any email traffic or communication by yourself or others as the messages collected and their content can not be retrieved after analysis. Typically, these domains are used only as websites or other http services.
