Which of My Leads Use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?
To find which leads use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, read each address's domain and look at where its MX records point. The bulk Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 email finder does it for a pasted list, 100 domains a run (500 after a free Google sign-in), and keeps company domains apart from personal Gmail and Outlook.com addresses.
It checks the domain, not the mailbox. It tells you where mail is hosted, not whether a person's address works.
This post is about a list. For one company, see how to tell if a company uses Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
The by-hand way
Look up the domain's MX records with the MX lookup. A host on google.com or smtp.goog points to Google, and one on mail.protection.outlook.com points to Microsoft 365. The catch is that personal Gmail and Outlook.com use the same servers, so the host alone cannot separate a company from a person. You have to read the domain too.
Step 1: paste the addresses
Paste addresses one per line, or upload a CSV. Addresses are found anywhere in the text.
Step 2: run the check
Press Find Workspace and 365 addresses. Only the unique domains are sent, 100 a request, and each gets an MX and a TXT lookup. No mail is sent.
Step 3: read the result
| Result | What it means |
|---|---|
| Google Workspace | A company domain with MX at Google |
| Microsoft 365 | A company domain with MX at Microsoft |
| Gmail (personal) | gmail.com or googlemail.com |
| Outlook.com (personal) | Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live |
| Other provider | Mail is hosted elsewhere |
| No mail server | The domain takes no mail |
| Lookup failed | Run it again |
Filter to one provider and download the CSV.
What about a security gateway
Some companies route mail through a gateway such as Proofpoint or Mimecast, so the MX host names the gateway. When the SPF record names exactly one of Google and Microsoft, the row is placed with that provider and marked as behind a gateway. If it names both or neither, it shows as Other provider. The secure email gateway checker gives the gateway view.
What this check cannot do
- It says where a domain's mail is hosted. Workspace and Microsoft 365 hide whether a mailbox exists from simple lookups.
- A domain may have been migrated since its DNS was cached. Run again for fresh results.
- Behind a gateway the SPF record decides, and only when it names exactly one of the two.
- The limit is 100 domains a run without an account and 500 signed in.
For single addresses, see checking if a Google Workspace email exists and whether a domain uses Microsoft 365. To split a send by provider, read Google Workspace vs Microsoft 365 for cold email.
Before you send
Knowing the platform does not tell you which people still have a mailbox. Run it through the verify page and the first 100 checks are free once you sign in with Google. You will see valid, risky or invalid for each address, with a reason, and your contacts receive nothing. Pricing and list cleaning explain what happens beyond that.

Common questions
How do I find which emails in a list are on Google Workspace?
Read each address's domain and check whether its MX records point at Google. Exclude gmail.com and googlemail.com, which are personal. A bulk finder does this for a whole list.
Why are Gmail and Outlook.com listed separately?
They use the same servers as Workspace and Microsoft 365 but are personal addresses. Mixing them in would overcount company mailboxes.
What does behind a gateway mean?
The MX record names a security gateway such as Proofpoint or Mimecast, so the mailbox provider is read from the SPF record instead.
Does this tell me whether a mailbox exists?
No. It shows where a domain's mail is hosted, not whether a person's address works.
Does it send an email?
No. It reads MX and TXT records only.
Check your list before you send
Real mailbox checks over SMTP, and nothing is sent to the address. Sign in with Google and your first 100 email checks are free, no card. Plans for bigger lists are on the pricing page.
