Set up a DMARC report address

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

Applies to: _dmarc.tiktok.com

  1. Get an address that collects DMARC aggregate reports: add tiktok.com to MailVakt to receive one, or sign up with any DMARC report service. 2. Edit the TXT record at _dmarc.tiktok.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 tiktok.com; most publish that record for you.

  • Warning: DKIM key shorter than 2048 bits

    google (1024-bit), 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.

  • 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.

BIMICan inboxes show your logo?BIMI record is malformedNeeds attention
  • Warning: BIMI record is malformed

    The BIMI record at default._bimi.tiktok.com is invalid: more than one BIMI record is published.

MTA-STSIs mail to you encrypted?No MTA-STS recordInfo
  • Info: No MTA-STS record

    No MTA-STS record at _mta-sts.tiktok.com. MTA-STS (RFC 8461) makes sending servers require TLS and a valid certificate when delivering to you, which blocks downgrade attacks.

TLS-RPTWill you hear about failures?No TLS-RPT recordInfo
  • Info: No TLS-RPT record

    No TLS reporting record at _smtp._tls.tiktok.com. TLS-RPT (RFC 8460) tells senders where to send daily reports about failed encrypted deliveries to you.

Publish the MTA-STS recordTXT

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

_mta-sts.tiktok.com

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

Host the MTA-STS policy filepolicy-file

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

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