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
โ ๏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.

Enforced Encryption Chain
MTA-STS enforces TLS encryption to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
TLS Support
TLS not verified or unsupported
โ
MTA-STS Policy
MTA-STS not configured
โ ๏ธ 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
โ
BIMI Record
BIMI not configured
โ ๏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
TLS not verified or unsupported
โ
TLS-RPT Reporting
TLS-RPT not configured
โ ๏ธ 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.
