originprobate.com

    "record": "v=spf1 mx -all",
    "valid": true,
    "dns_lookups": 1,
    "dns_void_lookups": 0,

    "parsed": {
      "pass":
          "value": "cumaru.open-t.co.uk",
          "mechanism": "mx"

 "dmarc": {
    "record": null,
    "valid": false,
    "location": null,
    "error": "A DMARC record does not exist for this domain or its base
domain"
