MXCan servers find your inbox?Only one MX hostInfo
  • Info: Only one MX host

    All mail for mail.ru goes to mxs.mail.ru. 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 ends in softfail (~all)Info
  • 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?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 mail.ru 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 mail.ru.

BIMICan inboxes show your logo?No BIMI recordInfo
  • Info: No BIMI record

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

How to fix it

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.mail.ru

  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://mail.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.mail.ru with v=BIMI1, l= set to the logo URL and a= set to the certificate URL.
