Reduce SPF DNS lookups

Evaluating SPF for criteo.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: docebosaas.com, login.mail.criteo.com, et._spf.pardot.com, _spf.qualtrics.com, asp.cuenote.jp. Changes: Replaced ~all with -all so mail from servers not listed is rejected.

Some DNS providers want “@” here instead of the full domain.

How to apply it

  1. Sign in where your domain’s DNS is managed. This is often where you bought the domain, such as Cloudflare, GoDaddy or Namecheap.
  2. Find the existing TXT record with that name and replace its value.
  3. 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?Only one MX hostInfo
  • Info: Only one MX host

    All mail for criteo.com goes to criteo-com.o-v1.mx.microsoft. 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 criteo.com needs 8 of the 10 allowed DNS lookups. Adding one more service, or a provider growing its own record, will break SPF.

    How to fix this
  • Info: SPF ends in softfail (~all)

    "~all" is common and works well with DMARC. "-all" is stricter; switch when you are sure every sender is listed.

DKIMAre your emails signed?DKIM key shorter than 2048 bitsNeeds attention
  • Warning: DKIM key shorter than 2048 bits

    selector1 (1024-bit), s2 (1024-bit), mail (1024-bit) uses an RSA key below 2048 bits. Short keys can be factored and some receivers treat them as weak. Rotate to a 2048-bit key at your sending provider.

  • Pass: DKIM key published

    criteo.com publishes a DKIM key under selector1, selector2, k2, k3, s1, s2, mail, default.

    No BIMI record at default._bimi.criteo.com. BIMI is optional: it shows your logo next to your mail in supporting inboxes once DMARC is enforced.

Other fixes

Prepare BIMIinstruction

BIMI shows your logo next to messages in supporting inboxes, but only for mail that passes DMARC under an enforced policy.

Applies to: default._bimi.criteo.com

  1. Enforce DMARC first: p=quarantine or p=reject at 100% (no pct below 100). 2. Convert your logo to an SVG Tiny PS file and host it over HTTPS, for example https://criteo.com/bimi/logo.svg. 3. For Gmail and Apple Mail, obtain a VMC or CMC certificate for the logo. 4. Publish a TXT record at default._bimi.criteo.com with v=BIMI1, l= set to the logo URL and a= set to the certificate URL.
