gosuslugi.ru
Good, with 2 things to fix
gosuslugi.ru scored 84/100 (grade B). The main issues are DMARC: subdomain policy is weaker than the domain policy and SPF has too many lookups that return nothing.

Strengthen the DMARC policy
Rejects mail that fails DMARC, the strongest protection against spoofing. Changes: Subdomains move one step, from sp=none to sp=quarantine.
_dmarc.gosuslugi.ru
Some DNS providers want just “_dmarc” here.
v=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=quarantine; rua=mailto:administrator@gosuslugi.ru; adkim=r; aspf=r
v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:administrator@gosuslugi.ru; sp=none
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.

MXCan servers find your inbox?No issues foundPass
Nothing to report.
SPFWho may send as you?SPF has too many lookups that return nothingNeeds attention
- Warning: SPF has too many lookups that return nothing
Checking mail from gosuslugi.ru, IPv6 clients would hit 3 void lookups (DNS queries that return no data). RFC 7208 lets receivers fail SPF after 2. Remove includes and mechanisms that point at names that no longer exist, or MX hosts without an address for that family.
DKIMAre your emails signed?DKIM key publishedPass
- Pass: DKIM key published
gosuslugi.ru publishes a DKIM key under mail.
DMARCWhat happens to fakes?Subdomain policy is weaker than the domain policyNeeds attention
- Warning: Subdomain policy is weaker than the domain policy
sp=none is weaker than p=reject, so attackers can spoof any subdomain of gosuslugi.ru (for example billing.gosuslugi.ru) even though the main domain is protected.
How to fix this
AlignmentDoes it match your From?SPF alignment is unknownInfo
- Info: SPF alignment is unknown
The SPF record of gosuslugi.ru can pass for some senders (those matched before the failing part), but another evaluation path ends in a permanent error (spf.void-lookups). Senders that reach that path fail SPF, so whether your mail aligns through SPF is unknown. Fix the error so every path evaluates.
BIMICan inboxes show your logo?No BIMI recordInfo
- Info: No BIMI record
No BIMI record at default._bimi.gosuslugi.ru. BIMI is optional: it shows your logo next to your mail in supporting inboxes once DMARC is enforced.
How to fix this
MTA-STSIs mail to you encrypted?No MTA-STS recordInfo
- Info: No MTA-STS record
No MTA-STS record at _mta-sts.gosuslugi.ru. 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.gosuslugi.ru. 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 gosuslugi.ru publishes an MTA-STS policy at https://mta-sts.gosuslugi.ru/.well-known/mta-sts.txt. Change the id whenever the policy file changes.
_mta-sts.gosuslugi.ru
Some DNS providers want just “_mta-sts” here.
v=STSv1; id=202610040211
Host the MTA-STS policy filepolicy-file
Serve this file over HTTPS with a valid certificate for mta-sts.gosuslugi.ru. It lists your MX hosts and starts in testing mode; switch to mode: enforce once TLS-RPT reports show no failures.
https://mta-sts.gosuslugi.ru/.well-known/mta-sts.txt
version: STSv1 mode: testing mx: mx.gosuslugi.ru mx: mx68.gosuslugi.ru max_age: 604800
Set up a TLS report addressinstruction
Sending servers will report TLS failures when delivering to gosuslugi.ru, 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.gosuslugi.ru
- Pick an address that will receive TLS reports: a mailbox you read (for example tls-reports@gosuslugi.ru, created first) or a TLS reporting service. 2. Publish a TXT record at _smtp._tls.gosuslugi.ru with the value v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:<that address>.
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.gosuslugi.ru
- 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://gosuslugi.ru/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.gosuslugi.ru with v=BIMI1, l= set to the logo URL and a= set to the certificate URL.
