Reduce SPF DNS lookups
Evaluating SPF for aliexpress.com takes 8 DNS lookups including nested includes; receivers stop at 10 and fail SPF. No detected sending service accounts for these includes; remove each one you no longer send through: spf1.service.alibaba.com, spf2.service.alibaba.com, spf2.ocm.aliyun.com.
aliexpress.com
Some DNS providers want “@” here instead of the full domain.
v=spf1 include:spf1.service.alibaba.com include:spf2.service.alibaba.com include:spf2.ocm.aliyun.com -all
v=spf1 include:spf1.service.alibaba.com include:spf2.service.alibaba.com include:spf2.ocm.aliyun.com -all
How to apply it
- Sign in where your domain’s DNS is managed. This is often where you bought the domain, such as Cloudflare, GoDaddy or Namecheap.
- Find the existing TXT record with that name and replace its value.
- Save, then come back and re-check. DNS changes can take up to a few hours to show.
All checks
MXCan servers find your inbox?MX host is a CNAMENeeds attention
- Warning: MX host is a CNAME
RFC 2181 forbids an MX target that is an alias. Some senders refuse or delay delivery to mx2.mail.aliyun.com. Point the MX at the canonical hostname instead.
- Info: Only one MX host
All mail for aliexpress.com goes to mx2.mail.aliyun.com. Most hosted providers make that one name highly available; if you run your own server, consider a backup MX.
SPFWho may send as you?SPF is close to the 10-lookup limitNeeds attention
- Warning: SPF is close to the 10-lookup limit
Evaluating the SPF record for aliexpress.com needs 8 of the 10 allowed DNS lookups. Adding one more service, or a provider growing its own record, will break SPF.

MTA-STSIs mail to you encrypted?No MTA-STS recordInfo
- Info: No MTA-STS record
No MTA-STS record at _mta-sts.aliexpress.com. MTA-STS (RFC 8461) makes sending servers require TLS and a valid certificate when delivering to you, which blocks downgrade attacks.
How to fix this
TLS-RPTWill you hear about failures?No TLS-RPT recordInfo
- Info: No TLS-RPT record
No TLS reporting record at _smtp._tls.aliexpress.com. TLS-RPT (RFC 8460) tells senders where to send daily reports about failed encrypted deliveries to you.

Other fixes
Publish the MTA-STS recordTXT
Tells sending servers that aliexpress.com publishes an MTA-STS policy at https://mta-sts.aliexpress.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt. Change the id whenever the policy file changes.
_mta-sts.aliexpress.com
Some DNS providers want just “_mta-sts” here.
v=STSv1; id=202610040210
Host the MTA-STS policy filepolicy-file
Serve this file over HTTPS with a valid certificate for mta-sts.aliexpress.com. It lists your MX hosts and starts in testing mode; switch to mode: enforce once TLS-RPT reports show no failures.

Set up a TLS report addressinstruction
Sending servers will report TLS failures when delivering to aliexpress.com, which you need before enforcing MTA-STS. The address must accept TLS reports; a DMARC report address does not necessarily do so.
Applies to: _smtp._tls.aliexpress.com
- Pick an address that will receive TLS reports: a mailbox you read (for example tls-reports@aliexpress.com, created first) or a TLS reporting service. 2. Publish a TXT record at _smtp._tls.aliexpress.com with the value v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:<that address>.
