How this service works
Change watch for dns mx via alidns: runs the check, compares it with the result from your previous call for the same domain (kept 90 days) and returns the current answer, changed true/false, the fields that changed with before/after values, and when it was last seen. Schedule it to be alerted when this changes. $0.02 per check.
Output
Returns the current MX records as resolved by AliDNS, a boolean 'changed' field indicating whether records differ from the previous call, a list of fields that changed with their before and after values, and a timestamp of when the records were last seen. Previous state is retained for up to 90 days per domain.
Example use cases
Email provider migration detection
“Watch the MX records for acmecorp.com via AliDNS and tell me if they've changed since yesterday — I want to know immediately if they switch mail providers.”
Competitor mail infrastructure monitoring
“Check whether the MX records for competitor.io have changed at all — compare them against the last snapshot and show me any differences with the old and new values.”
Domain hijacking early warning
“Has anything changed in the MX records for mybrand.com according to AliDNS? I'm worried about unauthorized changes and need to see the before and after if anything looks different.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://dns.intel.rallylive.ca/watch/dns/mx/via/alidns?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need change-detection semantics for MX records specifically via AliDNS (the Chinese resolver at 223.5.5.5), rather than just a raw DNS lookup. Ideal for scheduled polling workflows where you want automatic before/after diffs without maintaining your own state. Prefer this over a plain MX lookup endpoint when your goal is alerting on change rather than just fetching current values. Use AliDNS-specific variant when you need to observe how the Chinese DNS infrastructure resolves mail records, which can differ from Google, Cloudflare, or OpenDNS views.
Side effects
- Domain not found or NXDOMAIN: returns appropriate DNS response code with empty records
- No previous snapshot exists (first call): 'changed' may be null or false with no diff data
- AliDNS resolution failure: upstream DNS error reflected in response code
- Invalid or malformed domain input: request may be rejected or return error
- Snapshot older than 90 days expired: treated as first call with no prior state
