Identity Findings

Weak DKIM RSA key (~1296 bits) for selector 's2'
RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits are considered weak. Current key is approximately 1296 bits.
💡 Generate a new 2048-bit (or larger) RSA key pair and update the DKIM record.

Dependency Chains

DMARC Authentication Chain (SPF)
DMARC uses SPF to verify that emails come from authorized servers
SPF Record SPF record found and configured 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 DMARC Policy DMARC policy: reject
⚠️ DKIM signature is missing. DMARC relies on DKIM to verify email integrity and prevent tampering. Without DKIM, DMARC alignment will fail for cryptographic verification.

Enforced Encryption Chain
MTA-STS enforces TLS encryption to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
TLS Support TLS not verified or unsupported MTA-STS Policy MTA-STS not configured
⚠️ TLS support could not be verified. MTA-STS requires TLS to enforce encrypted connections. Without TLS, MTA-STS cannot function.
Brand Identity Chain
BIMI displays your logo in email clients, but requires DMARC enforcement
DMARC Enforcement DMARC policy: reject BIMI Record Brand logo configured
TLS Monitoring Chain
TLS-RPT provides reports about TLS connection failures
TLS Support TLS not verified or unsupported TLS-RPT Reporting TLS-RPT not configured
⚠️ TLS support could not be verified. TLS-RPT reports on TLS connection failures, but without TLS support, there's nothing to monitor. You need working TLS encryption before TLS-RPT can provide value.
