Problems

  • !
    Not signed
    DNSSEC · The zone is not signed with DNSSEC, so answers can be spoofed. Enable DNSSEC at your DNS provider and publish the DS record at your registrar.
    #27
  • !
    Very low TTLs
    Records · These records have a TTL below 5m, causing extra queries and slower lookups: A (1m). Low TTLs are useful just before a planned change. The NS TTL at the parent is 1d and in the zone 2d; resolvers may use either.

Problems

  • ✗
    11 DNS lookups, over the limit of 10
    SPF · SPF record needs 11 DNS lookups (including nested includes), more than the limit of 10. Receivers will return a permerror; reduce includes or flatten the record.
    #2
  • ✗
    No DKIM keys published
    DKIM · _domainkey.ancestry.de does not exist (NXDOMAIN), so no DKIM keys are published. DKIM helps prevent email spoofing. Configure DKIM with your email service provider.
    #7
  • !
    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
  • !
    Not enabled
    DNSSEC · DNSSEC is not enabled for this domain. Consider enabling DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing attacks.
    #8
  • !
    Hosts without IPv6
    MX · The following MX hosts could not be resolved to IPv6 addresses: mxa-002f8e01.gslb.pphosted.com, mxb-002f8e01.gslb.pphosted.com
    #11
  • !
    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
  • !
    Not all MX hosts use DANE
    TLS · These MX hosts publish no TLSA records, so mail to them is not protected by DANE: mxa-002f8e01.gslb.pphosted.com.
