MXCan servers find your inbox?Only one MX hostInfo

Info: Only one MX host
All mail for sharepoint.com goes to sponaeop.mail.protection.outlook.com. Most hosted providers make that one name highly available; if you run your own server, consider a backup MX.

SPFWho may send as you?No issues foundPass

DKIMAre your emails signed?DKIM key publishedPass

Pass: DKIM key published
sharepoint.com publishes a DKIM key under selector1.

BIMICan inboxes show your logo?No BIMI recordInfo

Info: No BIMI record
No BIMI record at default._bimi.sharepoint.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.sharepoint.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.sharepoint.com. TLS-RPT (RFC 8460) tells senders where to send daily reports about failed encrypted deliveries to you.
How to fix this

How to fix it

Publish the MTA-STS recordTXT

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

TypeTXT

Name / Host

_mta-sts.sharepoint.com

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

Value

v=STSv1; id=202610040202

Host the MTA-STS policy filepolicy-file

Serve this file over HTTPS with a valid certificate for mta-sts.sharepoint.com. It lists your MX hosts and starts in testing mode; switch to mode: enforce once TLS-RPT reports show no failures.

Location

https://mta-sts.sharepoint.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt

Contents

version: STSv1
mode: testing
mx: sponaeop.mail.protection.outlook.com

Set up a TLS report addressinstruction

Sending servers will report TLS failures when delivering to sharepoint.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.sharepoint.com

Pick an address that will receive TLS reports: a mailbox you read (for example tls-reports@sharepoint.com, created first) or a TLS reporting service. 2. Publish a TXT record at _smtp._tls.sharepoint.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.sharepoint.com

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