Checks

  • !
    Not configured
    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
  • i
    Not configured
    TLS-RPT lets senders report TLS delivery problems to you. It is most useful together with MTA-STS or DANE.
    #35
  • i
    Not used
    No MX host publishes TLSA records. DANE lets senders verify your mail server's certificate through DNSSEC; it requires DNSSEC on the MX host's zone.
