Problems

  • !
    Software version disclosed
    Nameservers · These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: ns1.openprovider.nl: "2026.10.8"; ns2.openprovider.be: "2026.10.8"; ns3.openprovider.eu: "2026.10.8". Hide or replace the version string.

  • !
    NSEC3 with extra iterations or salt
    DNSSEC · NSEC3 uses 1 iteration and a 1-byte salt. RFC 9276 recommends 0 iterations and no salt: extra iterations cost resolvers CPU and add no real protection, and some validators treat high counts as insecure.

Problems

  • !
    Policy: quarantine
    DMARC · DMARC policy is set to 'quarantine'. Consider upgrading to 'reject' for stronger protection once you've verified legitimate emails are passing authentication.
    #4
  • !
    1024-bit DKIM key
    DKIM · 1024-bit RSA keys are the minimum and are considered weak today: dkim (1024 bits). Rotate to a 2048-bit key.
    #23
  • !
    Addresses without reverse DNS
    MX · These MX addresses have no PTR record, which many receivers treat as a spam signal: 2001:550:2:61::2fc:100 (lastmx.spamexperts.net). Ask your hosting provider to set one.
    #30
  • !
    Not configured
    TLS · MTA-STS is not configured, so other mail servers fall back to unencrypted delivery when TLS fails or is stripped by an attacker. Publish a _mta-sts TXT record and a policy at https://mta-sts.<domain>/.well-known/mta-sts.txt.
    #32
  • !
    No certificate (a=)
    BIMI · The logo is published without a Verified Mark Certificate. Gmail and Apple Mail only show BIMI logos with a VMC or CMC; Yahoo shows it without one.
