SPF CIDR Calculator

Work out an IP range and the exact ip4:/ip6: SPF mechanism.

[ About this tool ]

This SPF CIDR calculator works out the network, netmask, first and last address and address count for any IPv4 or IPv6 range, and gives you the exact ip4: or ip6: mechanism.

How to read the results

  • ›Use the network address, not a host inside the range.
  • ›Wide ranges such as /8 let others send as you.
  • ›Only authorise IP ranges you control.

Enterprise provenance

Why top financial institutions and governments retired their email security dashboards.

Traditional email authentication platforms sell you a dashboard and ask your engineers to do the labour. In high-stakes environments, manual oversight means delayed enforcement, configuration drift and unmonitored shadow domains.

EmailAuth is the agentic email provenance platform. Our agents enforce p=reject, keep third-party senders aligned and move your domains to full RFC 9989 compliance, the new DMARC standard,, with human-in-the-loop auditability.
