All checks
MXCan servers find your inbox?Only one MX hostInfo
- Info: Only one MX host
All mail for amazon.com.au goes to amazon-smtp.amazon.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?No issues foundPass
Nothing to report.
DKIMAre your emails signed?No DKIM key found for the common selectorsNeeds attention
- Warning: No DKIM key found for the common selectors
None of the 47 selectors probed under amazon.com.au publish a DKIM key. DNS cannot list selectors, so a key under a custom selector may exist: find the s= value in the DKIM-Signature header of a message you sent and check that selector. If DKIM is not set up, enable it at each service that sends mail for amazon.com.au.
DMARCWhat happens to fakes?DMARC policy is quarantine; consider rejectInfo
- Info: DMARC policy is quarantine; consider reject
Failing mail goes to spam rather than being refused. When reports show no legitimate failures, reject gives the strongest protection.

MTA-STSIs mail to you encrypted?No MTA-STS recordInfo
- Info: No MTA-STS record
No MTA-STS record at _mta-sts.amazon.com.au. 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.amazon.com.au. TLS-RPT (RFC 8460) tells senders where to send daily reports about failed encrypted deliveries to you.

How to fix it
Strengthen the DMARC policyTXT
Rejects mail that fails DMARC, the strongest protection against spoofing.
_dmarc.amazon.com.au
Some DNS providers want just “_dmarc” here.
v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:report@dmarc.amazon.com; adkim=r; aspf=r
v=DMARC1;p=quarantine;pct=100;rua=mailto:report@dmarc.amazon.com;ruf=mailto:report@dmarc.amazon.com
Enable DKIM for Amazon SESinstruction
Amazon SES generates the DKIM key for each account, so the exact record must come from Amazon SES. Without DKIM, mail it sends for amazon.com.au cannot pass DMARC through DKIM.
Applies to: _domainkey.amazon.com.au
- In Amazon SES, enable DKIM signing for amazon.com.au: account-specific: copy the CNAME/TXT from the Amazon SES dashboard. Publish exactly the record Amazon SES shows (TXT or CNAME) at the host name it gives, then turn signing on. Instructions: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/send-email-authentication-dkim-easy.html
Publish the MTA-STS recordTXT
Tells sending servers that amazon.com.au publishes an MTA-STS policy at https://mta-sts.amazon.com.au/.well-known/mta-sts.txt. Change the id whenever the policy file changes.
_mta-sts.amazon.com.au
Some DNS providers want just “_mta-sts” here.
v=STSv1; id=202610040218
Host the MTA-STS policy filepolicy-file
Serve this file over HTTPS with a valid certificate for mta-sts.amazon.com.au. It lists your MX hosts and starts in testing mode; switch to mode: enforce once TLS-RPT reports show no failures.
https://mta-sts.amazon.com.au/.well-known/mta-sts.txt

Set up a TLS report addressinstruction
Sending servers will report TLS failures when delivering to amazon.com.au, 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.amazon.com.au
- Pick an address that will receive TLS reports: a mailbox you read (for example tls-reports@amazon.com.au, created first) or a TLS reporting service. 2. Publish a TXT record at _smtp._tls.amazon.com.au with the value v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:<that address>.
