MX hostname resolves via CNAME: mx2.pokerstars.com
MX records should not point to a CNAME (RFC 2181). This can cause delivery failures.
💡 Point the MX record directly to an A/AAAA record, not a CNAME.
TLS certificate hostname mismatch on mx2.pokerstars.com
Certificate subject 'mx20.pokerstars.com' does not match hostname 'mx2.pokerstars.com'. SANs: mx20.pokerstars.com
💡 Obtain a TLS certificate that matches the mail server hostname.
No MTA-STS record found
Without MTA-STS, mail transport encryption cannot be enforced and is vulnerable to downgrade attacks.
💡 Publish a _mta-sts TXT record and host a policy file at https://mta-sts.pokerstars.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt
STARTTLS without MTA-STS or DANE protection
STARTTLS alone is vulnerable to downgrade attacks. Neither MTA-STS nor DANE is configured to enforce encryption.
💡 Deploy MTA-STS and/or DANE to protect against STARTTLS stripping attacks.
Generic ISP PTR hostname: ec2-3-255-61-172.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
The PTR record for 3.255.61.172 appears to be a generic ISP hostname, which can harm deliverability.
💡 Set a meaningful PTR record like mail.pokerstars.com
Generic ISP PTR hostname: ec2-52-31-59-72.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
The PTR record for 52.31.59.72 appears to be a generic ISP hostname, which can harm deliverability.
💡 Set a meaningful PTR record like mail.pokerstars.com
No TLS-RPT record found
Without TLS-RPT, you will not receive reports about TLS negotiation failures.
💡 Publish a _smtp._tls TXT record (e.g. "v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:tls-reports@pokerstars.com").
ARC support not detected
No evidence of ARC (Authenticated Received Chain) support on MX servers. Forwarded messages may lose authentication.
💡 Consider enabling ARC signing on your mail servers to preserve authentication through forwarding.
No CAA iodef tag configured
No iodef tag is present in the CAA records. CA policy violation reports will not be sent.
💡 Add an iodef CAA record. Example: 0 iodef "mailto:security@example.com"
Very low TTL on NS records: 46s
2 NS records have a TTL of 46s or less (below 300s).
💡 Increase the TTL to at least 300 seconds unless frequent changes are expected.
SPF record is valid
The SPF record is properly configured with valid syntax and within lookup limits.
DKIM cryptographic configuration is compliant
No RFC 8301 compliance issues detected in DKIM key configuration.
No deprecated DMARCbis tags present
The DMARC record does not use any tags deprecated in DMARCbis (pct, rf, ri).
SMTP security checks passed
No open relay, VRFY/EXPN, or banner disclosure issues detected.
SMTP RFC 5321 compliance checks passed
The mail server accepts postmaster@ and abuse@ and uses a valid FQDN in EHLO.
IPv6 readiness is good
IPv6 records are present and properly configured.
NS delegation is properly configured
All nameservers are responsive, consistent, and properly secured.
DNS responses are consistent across all nameservers
All authoritative nameservers return consistent answers with proper AA flags.
DKIM2 not detected
No DKIM key record with v=2 was found across common selectors. DKIM2 is an emerging standard and not yet widely deployed.
DMARC alignment: adkim=r, aspf=r
DKIM alignment is relaxed, SPF alignment is relaxed.
DMARC failure reporting: fo=1
Failure reports generated when any authentication mechanism fails.
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.
DMARCbis psd tag absent
The DMARC record does not include the psd (public suffix domain) indicator. Consider adding psd=n to explicitly identify this as an organizational domain.
No DANE/TLSA records found
DANE is not configured for any MX server. This is optional but provides strong certificate binding.
No BIMI record found
BIMI is not configured. Your brand logo will not display in supporting email clients.
Open mail ports on mx2.pokerstars.com
Detected open mail-related ports: 25, 587
RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe assessment
No DKIM signing detected. RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe requires DKIM-signed List-Unsubscribe headers.
MX IP network diversity
MX IPs span 2 different /16 networks, providing good diversity.
SOA record parameters
Serial: 2403737242, Refresh: 10000s, Retry: 2400s, Expire: 604800s, Min TTL: 1800s
Authorized certificate authorities
CAA records restrict certificate issuance to: amazon.com, amazonaws.com, amazontrust.com, awstrust.com, comodoca.com, digicert.com; cansignhttpexchanges=yes, hydrantid.com, identrust.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog; cansignhttpexchanges=yes, ssl.com
Attack Surface Findings
Domain enumerability: medium
The domain has moderate enumerability. CT logs and DNS records reveal significant information about the domain structure.
💡 Restrict zone transfers, use NSEC3 instead of NSEC, consider wildcard certificates to reduce CT log exposure, and implement rate limiting on DNS queries.
DNSSEC is not enabled
No DNSKEY or DS records were found. DNS responses are not cryptographically authenticated.
💡 Enable DNSSEC by generating DNSKEY records and publishing DS records at the registrar.
No internal information leakage detected
No non-routable IP addresses or internal references were found in public DNS records.
No excessive DNS information exposure detected
No HINFO, LOC, RP records, version disclosures, or zone walking vulnerabilities were found.
No email autodiscovery endpoints detected
No Microsoft Autodiscover, Mozilla Autoconfig, or email SRV records were found.
7 subdomain(s) discovered for pokerstars.com
Subdomains were enumerated via Certificate Transparency logs, DNS wordlist brute-forcing, and DNS record analysis.
0 certificate(s) found in CT logs
Certificate Transparency logs contain 0 certificate(s) for pokerstars.com and its subdomains. Each certificate reveals subdomain names.
