DScore 54/100 across SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MTA-STS and BIMI.
  • warnDMARC applies its policy to only 10% of failing mail.
  • warnNo DKIM key found at common selectors (google, selector1, selector2, default, k1, k2, s1, s2, ...). DKIM may still use a custom selector we cannot guess.
  • warnMTA-STS is in testing mode. Switch to mode: enforce once reports look clean.
  • warnNo TLS-RPT record, so you won't hear about failed encrypted deliveries.
  • warnNo BIMI record (optional: shows your logo next to your emails in supporting inboxes).
  • goodSPF record found.
  • goodSPF ends with ~all: servers you have not listed are marked as suspicious (soft fail).
  • goodDMARC policy is quarantine: failing mail goes to spam. Move to p=reject for full protection.
