    Software version disclosed
    Nameservers · These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: fred.ns.cloudflare.com: "2026.10.2"; ivy.ns.cloudflare.com: "2026.10.2". Hide or replace the version string.

  • ✗
    12 DNS lookups, over the limit of 10
    SPF · SPF record needs 12 DNS lookups (including nested includes), more than the limit of 10. Receivers will return a permerror; reduce includes or flatten the record.

    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.

  • !
    Applies to 10% of mail
    DMARC · DMARC policy only applies to 10% of failing mail (pct=10). Raise pct to 100 once you are confident in your setup.
    #18
  • !
    No aggregate reports (rua)
    DMARC · DMARC record has no rua tag, so you receive no aggregate reports about who sends mail as your domain. Add rua=mailto:...

  • !
    1024-bit DKIM key
    DKIM · 1024-bit RSA keys are the minimum and are considered weak today: s2 (1024 bits). Rotate to a 2048-bit key.

  • !
    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.
