Create the MTA-STS TXT DNS record through your DNS provider. The format is: Console Copy Hostname: _mta-sts.<domain name> TTL: 3600 (recommended) Type: TXT Text: v=STSv1; id=<ID unique for your domain’s STS policy>Z; Note An example MTA-STS TXT record can be found in How...
MTA-STS makes TLS encryption mandatory in SMTP, which ensures that messages are not sent over an unsecured connection, or delivered in plaintext. This in turn keeps Man-in-the-middle and DNS spoofing attacks at bay by stopping attackers from intercepting email communications. PowerDMARC's hosted...
Please update RCA asap to ensure error like "Error query TLSA records NDR Code 5.4.312, DNS query failed, Unknown DNS failure." is not returned because the DNSSEC is no enable (in this case because ExO is not yet enabled for it); this is simply unacceptable to put ...
Deleted great feedback, your O365 DKIM example is a solid one for us to consider. This is the first step, and indeed we'll be looking at building upon it to make it simpler as you suggest. And yep, certificate management is always a challenge for everyone it seems - interesting...
if ($MtaSts.StsRecord.HasWarnings) { $ValidationWarns.Add('MTA-STS Record has warnings') | Out-Null }if ($MtaSts.StsPolicy.IsValid) { $ValidationPasses.Add('MTA-STS Policy is valid') | Out-Null } else { $ValidationFails.Add('MTA-STS Policy is not valid') | Out-Null } ...
Because it seems to me that if it does, and given that those sending with MTA-STS is common now, quite a lot of incoming mail will bounce. If true, doesn't that seem like an unwise point of failure? I'm not sure whose web server is infallible....

and this is a notable change that requires more action+effort to keep it working - more effort than O365-based DKIM (after initial DNS setup MS handles the stuff themselves) or SPF (a single static entry in DNS with "include") or DMARC (a single static entry in DNS)...
The SMTP protocol isn’t secure and wasn’t designed to be. Email sent in the early days of the Internet were the digital equivalent of sending a postcard through the postal system. Eventually, Transpo... UpdatedApr 22, 2025 Version 5.0 ...
Are you referencing MX servers identified by CNAMEs or the mta-sts and _mta-sts DNS records? Many MTA-STS hosting services provide clients with CNAME records. Also, I've noticed Microsoft uses CNAMEs for its MTA-STS policies. Does the record type (A/AAAA vs. CNAME) for serving ...
