Problems

  • !
    Software version disclosed
    Nameservers · These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: elly.ns.cloudflare.com: "2026.10.2"; gordon.ns.cloudflare.com: "2026.10.2". Hide or replace the version string.
    #17
  • !
    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: MX (1m). Low TTLs are useful just before a planned change. The NS TTL at the parent is 2d and in the zone 1d; resolvers may use either.

Problems

  • ✗
    Weak DKIM key
    DKIM · RSA keys shorter than 1024 bits can be cracked and are ignored by receivers (RFC 8301): pm (768 bits). Rotate to a 2048-bit key.
    #23
  • !
    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: usb-smtp-inbound-1.mimecast.com, usb-smtp-inbound-2.mimecast.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.
