90 out of 100

Why this score

The score starts at 100. Every issue below subtracts points based on how much it hurts your deliverability or lets someone spoof you.

      Ends with ~all (softfail).

      A softfail asks receivers to accept mail from unlisted senders but flag it, so spoofed messages can still reach the inbox.

      How to fix: Move to -all after confirming that all of your senders are included, so unauthorized mail is rejected.

  • DKIM

    -5Warning
    • -5

      DKIM key is only 1024-bit.

      A 1024-bit RSA key is below the modern standard of 2048-bit and is easier to break. Some receivers already ignore keys this short.

      How to fix: Rotate to a 2048-bit key with your email provider and publish the new public key.

  • DMARC

    Pass

    • Policy is p=reject (strongest).

      Reject tells receivers to refuse any mail that fails authentication, the strongest protection against spoofing.

    • Aggregate reporting is enabled.

      A rua address is set, so you receive daily reports showing every source that sends as your domain.

    • DMARC is present and enforced.

      A valid DMARC record was found with an enforcing policy, so receivers act on mail that fails authentication.

  • MX

    Pass

    • MX is configured (2 mail server(s)).

      Your domain has MX records and every listed mail server resolves to an IP address, so it can receive mail.

  • Blacklist

    Pass

    • Not on any checked blocklist.

      Your mail server IPs were not found on the public blocklists we checked. Reputation can change, so it is worth monitoring over time.

Optional enhancements

Advanced, nice-to-have features. Setting these up (or not) does not change your grade.

  • DNSSEC

    Optional

    • DNSSEC is not enabled.

      DNSSEC is optional, but it protects against DNS spoofing by letting resolvers confirm your records are authentic. Most domains still do not use it.

      How to fix: If your DNS provider and registrar support it, enable DNSSEC to protect your domain from DNS tampering.

  • MTA-STS

    Optional

    • MTA-STS is not set up.

      MTA-STS is optional but recommended. It tells sending servers to require TLS when delivering mail to you, which blocks downgrade and man-in-the-middle attacks on your inbound mail.

      How to fix: Publish a _mta-sts TXT record and host a policy at https://mta-sts.<yourdomain>/.well-known/mta-sts.txt with mode enforce.

    Read the MTA-STS guide

  • TLS-RPT

    Optional

    • TLS reporting (TLS-RPT) is not set up.

      TLS-RPT is optional. It asks receivers to send you reports when TLS fails while delivering your mail, which is how you catch MTA-STS or certificate problems before they hurt delivery.

      How to fix: Publish a _smtp._tls TXT record with v=TLSRPTv1 and a rua address, for example rua=mailto:tlsrpt@yourdomain.

    Read the TLS-RPT guide

  • BIMI

    Optional

    • BIMI is not set up.

      BIMI is optional. It shows your logo next to your emails in supporting inboxes, but it needs an enforced DMARC policy and, for Gmail and Apple Mail, a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC).

      How to fix: With DMARC at quarantine or reject, publish a BIMI TXT record at default._bimi pointing to a square SVG logo, and add a VMC to display it in Gmail and Apple Mail.

This report shows how nike.com configures email authentication in its public DNS. Consumer brands send order confirmations, receipts, and marketing at scale, and these records decide how much of that mail reaches the inbox instead of the spam folder.

What this report checks

The grade above is derived directly from what nike.com publishes in DNS, so it reflects the domain exactly as a receiving mail server sees it. SPF lists the servers allowed to send on the domain's behalf. DKIM adds a cryptographic signature that proves a message was not altered in transit. DMARC ties the two together and tells receivers what to do when a message fails both checks. Transport records such as MTA-STS and TLS-RPT add a further layer by protecting the connection itself.
