Policy: quarantine

DMARC policy is set to 'quarantine'. Consider upgrading to 'reject' for stronger protection once you've verified legitimate emails are passing authentication.

#4
✓ Record published #5

DMARC record exists for this domain.
✓ Valid syntax #17

DMARC record syntax is valid.
✓ Applies to 100% of mail #18

DMARC policy applies to all failing mail.
✓ Aggregate reports enabled #19

Aggregate reports are sent to: mailto:dmarc-report@dmarc.cpanel.net
!

Subdomains unprotected (sp=none)

DMARC subdomain policy is sp=none, so spoofed mail from subdomains is not blocked. Consider sp=quarantine or sp=reject.

#20
✓ External report addresses authorized #29

Report addresses in other domains have published their authorization.

TLS

warn

no MTA-STS · no TLS-RPT · DANE on 0 of 1 MX hosts

Found

DANE (TLSA records)

MX host	TLSA	DNSSEC
whmcs-com.mail.protection.outlook.com	none	-

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.
