TLS-RPT record

TLS-RPT Checker

Check whether your domain publishes a TLS-RPT record, which asks other servers to send you reports when they fail to deliver to you over TLS.

Reference

How TLS-RPT works

What the record is for, how to read the result, and what to do about each problem.

What is TLS-RPT?

TLS-RPT asks other mail servers to send you reports whenever they can't deliver to your domain over a secure TLS connection - the monitoring half that pairs with MTA-STS's enforcement.

How to set it up

Publish a TXT record at _smtp._tls.yourdomain: v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:you@yourdomain.

Why it matters

Without TLS-RPT you have no visibility into silent TLS delivery failures. With it, you learn when senders can't reach you securely so you can fix it early.
