STARTTLS 3
SMTP STARTTLS requires a live SMTP session against each MX host and is not tested in this DNS-only lookup.
unsupported_test / info / RFC 3207 4
MTA-STS is not configured; STARTTLS remains opportunistic unless enforced by another mechanism such as DANE.
operational_recommendation / info / RFC 3207 6
TLS-RPT is not configured, so delivery TLS failures may not be reported back to the domain owner.
operational_recommendation / info / RFC 8460 1
BIMI 0
BIMI is not configured (optional)
