This one I just came across and it's very informative about the mechanics of email.

I have also used this one in the past and it works well:

These are great tools, use them all the time at work as a mail server admin.

Just yesterday I was able to determine a web developer removed a client's DKIM record causing their DMARC to fail.

Another quick tip. If you have gmail account while viewing an email click the three dots in upper right corner. Select "show original".
SPF: PASS with IP <your IP> Learn more
DKIM: 'PASS' with domain yourdoamin.com Learn more
DMARC: 'PASS' Learn more
