Free MTA-STS Checker

Check your domain's MTA-STS DNS record and policy file.

Understanding MTA-STS

MTA-STS (RFC 8461) lets a domain declare it accepts secure TLS connections and refuse delivery if TLS fails.

Two elements required: a DNS TXT at _mta-sts.yourdomain.com and an HTTPS policy file at mta-sts.yourdomain.com.

The policy file specifies mode (enforce or testing), MX hosts and cache duration (max_age). Start with testing.
