Reduce SPF DNS lookups

Evaluating SPF for seedtag.com takes 11 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: 19567840.spf04.hubspotemail.net, 00d7q000008lzoa=1tbtt000000052w. Changes: Replaced ~all with -all so mail from servers not listed is rejected.

TypeTXT
Name / Host
seedtag.com

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.

SPFWho may send as you?SPF needs more than 10 DNS lookupsFailing
  • Fail: SPF needs more than 10 DNS lookups

    Evaluating the SPF record for seedtag.com needs more than 10 DNS lookups (counting nested includes). Receivers stop at 10 with a permanent error, so SPF fails. Remove unused includes or replace them with IP ranges.

    How to fix this
  • Warning: SPF has no "all" term

    Without a closing "all" term, mail from unlisted servers gets a neutral result. End the record with "-all" or "~all".

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

    k1 (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

    seedtag.com publishes a DKIM key under google, k1.

DMARCWhat happens to fakes?No DMARC aggregate report addressNeeds attention
  • Warning: No DMARC aggregate report address

    Without a rua address you receive no aggregate reports, so you cannot see who sends as your domain or safely tighten the policy.

    How to fix this
AlignmentDoes it match your From?SPF alignment is unknownInfo
  • Info: SPF alignment is unknown

    The SPF record of seedtag.com can pass for some senders (those matched before the failing part), but another evaluation path ends in a permanent error (spf.lookups.over-limit). 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.seedtag.com. 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.seedtag.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.seedtag.com. TLS-RPT (RFC 8460) tells senders where to send daily reports about failed encrypted deliveries to you.

    How to fix this

Other fixes

Set up a DMARC report addressinstruction

Without a rua address nobody receives aggregate reports, so you cannot see who sends as seedtag.com or tell when it is safe to tighten the policy. Adding reporting does not change how receivers treat your mail.

Applies to: _dmarc.seedtag.com

  1. Get an address that collects DMARC aggregate reports: add seedtag.com to MailVakt to receive one, or sign up with any DMARC report service. 2. Edit the TXT record at _dmarc.seedtag.com and add rua=mailto:<that address>, keeping every other tag (p=reject) as it is. 3. A report service on another domain must authorize seedtag.com; most publish that record for you.

Publish the MTA-STS recordTXT

Tells sending servers that seedtag.com publishes an MTA-STS policy at https://mta-sts.seedtag.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt. Change the id whenever the policy file changes.

TypeTXT
Name / Host
_mta-sts.seedtag.com

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

Value
v=STSv1; id=202610040219

Host the MTA-STS policy filepolicy-file

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

  1. Pick an address that will receive TLS reports: a mailbox you read (for example tls-reports@seedtag.com, created first) or a TLS reporting service. 2. Publish a TXT record at _smtp._tls.seedtag.com 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.seedtag.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://seedtag.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.seedtag.com with v=BIMI1, l= set to the logo URL and a= set to the certificate URL.
