    Software version disclosed
    Nameservers · These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: asia2.akam.net: "48878.26"; eur1.akam.net: "48878.32"; eur4.akam.net: "41824.5"; ns1-225.akam.net: "41824.6"; ns1-225.akam.net: "41824.9"; ns1-245.akam.net: "41824.8"; ns1-245.akam.net: "41824.10"; usc2.akam.net: "48878.27"; use4.akam.net: "48878.26"; use9.akam.net: "48878.31". Hide or replace the version string.

    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.

Problems

  • ✗
    No DKIM keys published
    DKIM · _domainkey.rediff.com does not exist (NXDOMAIN), so no DKIM keys are published. DKIM helps prevent email spoofing. Configure DKIM with your email service provider.
    #7
  • !
    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: mx.rediffmail.rediff.akadns.net
    #11
  • !
    Single MX host, no backup
    MX · Only one MX record found. For better email reliability, consider adding at least one backup MX server.
    #12
  • !
    Report address not authorized
    DMARC · These report addresses are in another domain that has not agreed to receive your reports, so receivers will not send them: mailto:dmarc_rua@rediffmail.com (needs rediff.com._report._dmarc.rediffmail.com); mailto:dmarc_ruf@rediffmail.com (needs rediff.com._report._dmarc.rediffmail.com). Ask the report provider to publish the record, or check the address.
    #29
  • !
    Reverse DNS does not match
    MX · The PTR name of these addresses does not resolve back to the same address: 202.137.234.30 -> rm-vs-234-f4-sm-25.rediff.com.
    #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.
