Issues found (3)
Mail server reverse DNS missing
One or more MX server IPs do not have a PTR record. Mail receivers treat missing reverse DNS as a deliverability risk.
Learn moreExcessive verification TXT records
Your domain has many third-party verification records. These reveal your tech stack to potential attackers (reconnaissance). Review and remove unused verifications
Learn moreRecommendations (3)
Configure reverse DNS for mail servers
Ask the owner of each mail server IP address to set a PTR record, for example 203.0.113.10 -> mail.yourdomain.com.
Impact: Improves mail-server trust signals and reduces deliverability risk
IPv6 for mail servers
Add AAAA records for your MX servers to support email via IPv6.
Impact: Improves email reachability for IPv6 networks
Review verification TXT records
Your domain has many third-party verification records that reveal your tech stack (Google, Microsoft, Atlassian, etc.). Review each one: 1) Remove records for services no longer used 2) Consider if each service really needs domain verification 3) Use a subdomain for less critical services. This is an information disclosure issue - attackers can map your SaaS footprint.
Impact: Reduces reconnaissance surface and limits attacker knowledge of your infrastructure
