Identity Findings

Invalid TLS certificate on mx.vk.com
The TLS certificate presented by the mail server is expired or invalid.
๐Ÿ’ก Renew or replace the TLS certificate on the mail server.
high
No DKIM records found
No DKIM records were found after probing 56 common selectors. The domain may use a custom selector not discoverable via external scan.
๐Ÿ’ก Configure DKIM signing and publish the public key at <selector>._domainkey.userapi.com
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.userapi.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
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@userapi.com").
low
Slow DNS response from ns3.vkontakte.ru: 2140.2ms
The nameserver ns3.vkontakte.ru responded in 2140.2ms, exceeding the 2000ms threshold.
๐Ÿ’ก Investigate network latency or performance issues on ns3.vkontakte.ru.
low
Slow DNS response from ns2.vkontakte.ru: 2121ms
The nameserver ns2.vkontakte.ru responded in 2121ms, exceeding the 2000ms threshold.
๐Ÿ’ก Investigate network latency or performance issues on ns2.vkontakte.ru.

Subdomains protected (sp=reject)
DMARC subdomain policy enforces quarantine or reject on unauthenticated subdomain mail.
pass
ARC support likely available
MX server software appears to support ARC headers for authentication preservation.
pass
Meets bulk sender authentication requirements
Domain has SPF, DKIM, and DMARC โ€” meeting Google/Yahoo 2024 bulk sender requirements for email authentication.
pass
SMTP security checks passed
No open relay, VRFY/EXPN, or banner disclosure issues detected.
pass
SMTP RFC 5321 compliance checks passed

informational
DMARC alignment: adkim=r, aspf=r
DKIM alignment is relaxed, SPF alignment is relaxed.
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.
informational
Deprecated DMARCbis tags found: pct
The DMARC record contains tags deprecated in DMARCbis: pct. Consider removing these for forward compatibility.

The primary MX does not advertise REQUIRETLS (RFC 8689). This is an emerging standard โ€” MTA-STS and DANE provide adequate TLS enforcement for most deployments.
informational
No DANE/TLSA records found
DANE is not configured for any MX server. This is optional but provides strong certificate binding.
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: mx.vk.com
PTR record proves mail server legitimacy
MX: mx.vk.com Mail server at 87.240.169.121 โ†’ PTR Record Reverse DNS: mx.vk.com
Mail Server Reputation: mx.vk.com
RBL check ensures server is not blacklisted
MX: mx.vk.com Mail server at 87.240.169.121 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.
