NS Delegation Healthy
Brand & Certificate Controls
BIMI (Brand Logo) Not Configured
CAA (Certificate) Open Any certificate authority may issue certificates
Priority Actions 6 total Achievable: Low Risk
Critical Publish SPF record

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) tells receiving mail servers which IP addresses are authorized to send email for your domain. Without SPF, any server can claim to send as your domain.

yourdomain.com TXT "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
Medium Add CAA records

Publish CAA DNS records to restrict which Certificate Authorities can issue TLS certificates for your domain. Specify your preferred CA (e.g., letsencrypt.org, digicert.com).

yourdomain.com CAA 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
Medium Deploy MTA-STS policy

Publish an MTA-STS DNS record and host a policy file at https://mta-sts.yourdomain.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt. This tells senders to require TLS when delivering mail to your domain.

_mta-sts.yourdomain.com TXT "v=STSv1; id=20240101"
Low Verify DKIM configuration

DKIM selectors were not discoverable via common selector names. This does not confirm DKIM is absent — your provider may use custom or rotating selectors that cannot be enumerated through DNS (RFC 6376 §3.6.2.1). Check your email provider's DKIM settings to confirm signing is enabled.

selector1._domainkey.yourdomain.com TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=<public_key>"
Low Configure TLS-RPT reporting

TLS-RPT (TLS Reporting) sends you reports about TLS connection failures when other servers try to deliver mail to your domain. Helps diagnose MTA-STS and STARTTLS issues.

_smtp._tls.yourdomain.com TXT "v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:tls-reports@yourdomain.com"
Low Configure BIMI brand logo

Publish a BIMI DNS record pointing to your brand logo (SVG Tiny PS format). For full support in Gmail, you will also need a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC).

default._bimi.yourdomain.com TXT "v=BIMI1; l=https://yourdomain.com/logo.svg"
