hughes.net MX records
hughes.net publishes a single MX host, mx.hughes.net. With no backup host, a sender that can't reach it queues the message and retries until the server answers or the queue gives up.
hughes.net SPF record
The record on 5 November 2026 was v=spf1 ip4:64.98.40.0/22 ip4:64.98.36.17/32 ip4:208.74.204.0/22 ip4:46.19.168.0/23 ip4:69.168.97.0/24 include:hughesspf.smtp.com include:hughes.spf.syn-alias.com ~all.
In plain terms, it delegates to hughesspf.smtp.com and hughes.spf.syn-alias.com and lists 5 IP ranges directly. The top level uses 2 DNS-querying terms; SPF allows 10 in total including nested includes (RFC 7208 §4.6.4).
It ends in a soft fail (~all): mail from unlisted servers should be accepted but treated as suspicious.
hughes.net DMARC policy
The record is v=DMARC1;p=none;fo=1;rua=mailto:[email protected];ruf=mailto:[email protected].
p=none only asks for reports; failing mail is delivered as normal.
Aggregate reports go to emaildefense.proofpoint.com, so the domain's owner sees who sends mail as @hughes.net.
Can you verify @hughes.net addresses?
Our checker treats @hughes.net like any domain: syntax, MX, disposable and role checks first, then a made-up address to rule out a catch-all, then your address at RCPT TO, disconnecting without sending. We have not published a test of how mx.hughes.net answers for @hughes.net, so we make no claim here about whether single mailboxes can be confirmed; each result carries its own reason.
Cleaning a list with these addresses
DNS tells you where mail goes, not whether one person's mailbox still exists. For a list, run the whole file through a verifier before you send: invalid rows come out, risky rows (catch-all, unknown, refused) go in their own segment, and valid rows are safe to mail.
