No MX records found
The domain has no MX records and cannot receive email.
๐Ÿ’ก Publish MX records pointing to your mail server(s).
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 '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
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.invitationhomes.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt

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: quarantine
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: quarantine
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: invitationhomes-com.mail.protection.outlook.com
PTR record proves mail server legitimacy
MX: invitationhomes-com.mail.protection.outlook.com Mail server at 52.101.10.2 โ†’ PTR Record Reverse DNS: mail-bn8pr03cu00202.inbound.protection.outlook.com
Mail Server Reputation: invitationhomes-com.mail.protection.outlook.com
RBL check ensures server is not blacklisted
MX: invitationhomes-com.mail.protection.outlook.com Mail server at 52.101.10.2 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: quarantine 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.
