MX records and everything a receiving server checks before accepting your mail.

• OK

  1 mail server(s) are published. explain

  Priority	Mail server	Addresses	Reverse DNS
  65535	b.backup.zip	35.189.184.246	mail.inxsoft.net

  35.189.184.246 -> mail.inxsoft.net

• OK

  Blocklists (DNSBL)

  No mail or web address of this domain is listed on the public blocklists we query. explain

SPF, DKIM, DMARC and the modern transport policies.

• Error

  SPF

  No SPF record. Anybody can send mail using your domain as the envelope sender and most receivers will accept it. explain

• Error

  DMARC

  No DMARC record at _dmarc.backup.zip. Without it, SPF and DKIM failures have no consequence and you receive no reports about abuse of your domain. explain

• Warning

  DKIM

  No DKIM key was found on the selectors we probe. DKIM may still be active on a private selector, but without it DMARC survives no forwarding. explain

• Info

  MTA-STS

  No MTA-STS policy. It stops attackers from stripping TLS between mail servers and is supported by the large providers. explain

• Info

  TLS-RPT

  No TLS-RPT record. It is the reporting half of MTA-STS and DANE. explain

• Info

  BIMI

  No BIMI record. It shows your brand logo next to authenticated mail and requires DMARC at p=quarantine or p=reject first. explain

DNSSEC, certificate authorisation and exposure of the zone.

• Warning

  DNSSEC

  DNSSEC is not enabled. Without it, answers for your domain can be forged on the way to the resolver. explain

• Warning

  CAA

  No CAA record. Any certificate authority in the world may issue a certificate for your domain; a CAA record limits that to the ones you choose. explain

• OK

  Zone transfer (AXFR)

  No name server allows an anonymous zone transfer. explain

• Warning

  Software version disclosure

  The name servers reveal their software version, which tells an attacker exactly which vulnerabilities to try. explain
