When to use it
Reverse MX lookup is useful when investigating email infrastructure, hosted mail migrations, deliverability issues, or domains that rely on the same mail service.
What it shows
The query compares MX records and returns domains that share mail exchanger hosts. It can reveal use of Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, custom mail gateways, or shared filtering infrastructure.
How to use the result
Treat shared MX as an infrastructure relationship. Confirm ownership separately with domain records, web content, certificates, and account-level evidence.
