MXCan servers find your inbox?No issues foundPass

Nothing to report.

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?DKIM key publishedPass

Pass: DKIM key published
ryanair.com publishes a DKIM key under zendesk1, zendesk2.

DMARCWhat happens to fakes?No issues foundPass

Nothing to report.

AlignmentDoes it match your From?SPF alignment is unknownInfo

Info: SPF alignment is unknown
The SPF record of ryanair.com authorizes no sender (no +ip4, +ip6, +a, +mx, +exists or +ptr term, include of a record that has one, or +all before all), so SPF never passes and cannot align. That is correct for a domain that sends no mail; otherwise DMARC depends on DKIM alone.

BIMICan inboxes show your logo?No issues foundPass

Nothing to report.

MTA-STSIs mail to you encrypted?No MTA-STS recordInfo

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

_mta-sts.ryanair.com

Some DNS providers want just “_mta-sts” here.

Serve this file over HTTPS with a valid certificate for mta-sts.ryanair.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 ryanair.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.ryanair.com

Pick an address that will receive TLS reports: a mailbox you read (for example tls-reports@ryanair.com, created first) or a TLS reporting service. 2. Publish a TXT record at _smtp._tls.ryanair.com with the value v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:<that address>.
