Identity Findings

Critically weak DKIM key (~1000 bits) for selector 'cm'
RSA keys shorter than 1024 bits are trivially breakable. RFC 8301 requires minimum 1024 bits.
๐Ÿ’ก Immediately generate a 2048-bit RSA key pair.
critical
Weak DKIM RSA key (~1296 bits) for selector 'selector1'
RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits are considered weak. Current key is approximately 1296 bits.
๐Ÿ’ก Generate a new 2048-bit (or larger) RSA key pair and update the DKIM record.
high
Weak DKIM RSA key (~1296 bits) for selector 's2'
RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits are considered weak. Current key is approximately 1296 bits.
๐Ÿ’ก Generate a new 2048-bit (or larger) RSA key pair and update the DKIM record.
high
Weak DKIM RSA key (~1296 bits) for selector 'mandrill'
RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits are considered weak. Current key is approximately 1296 bits.
๐Ÿ’ก Generate a new 2048-bit (or larger) RSA key pair and update the DKIM record.
high
Weak DKIM RSA key (~1000 bits) for selector 'cm'
RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits are considered weak. Current key is approximately 1000 bits.
๐Ÿ’ก Generate a new 2048-bit (or larger) RSA key pair and update the DKIM record.
high
DKIM in testing mode for selector 'cm'
The t=y flag indicates DKIM is in testing mode. Receivers may not enforce DKIM failures.
๐Ÿ’ก Remove the t=y flag once DKIM signing is verified in production.
medium
No MTA-STS record found
Without MTA-STS, mail transport encryption cannot be enforced and is vulnerable to downgrade attacks.
๐Ÿ’ก Publish a _mta-sts TXT record and host a policy file at https://mta-sts.dexcom.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt
medium
STARTTLS without MTA-STS or DANE protection
STARTTLS alone is vulnerable to downgrade attacks. Neither MTA-STS nor DANE is configured to enforce encryption.
๐Ÿ’ก Deploy MTA-STS and/or DANE to protect against STARTTLS stripping attacks.
medium
SOA expire value too short
The SOA expire value is 259200s (<604,800s / 7 days). Secondary nameservers may stop serving the zone prematurely.
๐Ÿ’ก Increase the SOA expire value to at least 604800 seconds (7 days).
medium
No CAA records found
No CAA records are configured. Any certificate authority can issue certificates for this domain.
๐Ÿ’ก Add CAA records to restrict certificate issuance. Example: 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
medium
No TLS-RPT record found
Without TLS-RPT, you will not receive reports about TLS negotiation failures.
๐Ÿ’ก Publish a _smtp._tls TXT record (e.g. "v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:tls-reports@dexcom.com").
low
SPF has ip4 mechanisms but no ip6
The SPF record authorizes IPv4 addresses but not IPv6. Your MX servers have AAAA records, so IPv6 mail delivery is possible without SPF authorization.
๐Ÿ’ก Add ip6: mechanisms to the SPF record for your IPv6 mail server addresses.
low
Very low TTL on TXT records: 94s
35 TXT records have a TTL of 94s or less (below 300s).
๐Ÿ’ก Increase the TTL to at least 300 seconds unless frequent changes are expected.
low
Very low TTL on SPF record: 94s
The SPF record has a TTL of 94s or less (below 300s).
๐Ÿ’ก Increase the TTL to at least 300 seconds unless frequent changes are expected.
low

pass
DNS responses are consistent across all nameservers
All authoritative nameservers return consistent answers with proper AA flags.

DMARC alignment: adkim=r, aspf=r
DKIM alignment is relaxed, SPF alignment is relaxed.
informational
DMARC failure reporting: fo=1
Failure reports generated when any authentication mechanism fails.
informational
DMARCbis np tag absent
The DMARC record does not include the np (non-existent subdomain policy) tag. Consider adding np=reject to protect non-existent subdomains under DMARCbis.

Deprecated DMARCbis tags found: pct, ri
The DMARC record contains tags deprecated in DMARCbis: pct, ri. Consider removing these for forward compatibility.

DKIM signing is configured. RFC 8058 compliance depends on List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post headers being included in outbound messages and DKIM signatures.
informational

Dependency Chains

DMARC Authentication Chain (SPF)
DMARC uses SPF to verify that emails come from authorized servers
SPF Record SPF record found and configured โ†’ DMARC Policy DMARC policy: reject
DMARC Authentication Chain (DKIM)
DMARC uses DKIM to verify that emails have not been tampered with
DKIM Signature DKIM signature missing โ†’ DMARC Policy DMARC policy: reject
โš ๏ธ DKIM signature is missing. DMARC relies on DKIM to verify email integrity and prevent tampering. Without DKIM, DMARC alignment will fail for cryptographic verification.
Mail Server Identity: dexcom-com.mail.protection.outlook.com
PTR record proves mail server legitimacy
MX: dexcom-com.mail.protection.outlook.com Mail server at 52.101.41.26 โ†’ PTR Record Reverse DNS: mail-sj0pr03cu01702.inbound.protection.outlook.com
Mail Server Reputation: dexcom-com.mail.protection.outlook.com
RBL check ensures server is not blacklisted
MX: dexcom-com.mail.protection.outlook.com Mail server at 52.101.41.26 โ†’ RBL Status Not blacklisted
Enforced Encryption Chain
MTA-STS enforces TLS encryption to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
TLS Support Mail servers support TLS encryption โ†’ MTA-STS Policy MTA-STS not configured
โš ๏ธ MTA-STS policy is missing. Even with TLS support, you lack the enforcement layer that prevents attackers from stripping encryption (downgrade attacks).
Brand Identity Chain
BIMI displays your logo in email clients, but requires DMARC enforcement
DMARC Enforcement DMARC policy: reject โ†’ BIMI Record BIMI not configured
โš ๏ธ BIMI record is missing. Even with DMARC enforcement, you need to configure BIMI to display your brand logo in supported email clients.
TLS Monitoring Chain
TLS-RPT provides reports about TLS connection failures
TLS Support Mail servers support TLS encryption โ†’ TLS-RPT Reporting TLS-RPT not configured
โš ๏ธ TLS-RPT is not configured. Without TLS reporting, you have no visibility into TLS connection failures that may be impacting email delivery.
