TLS-RPT - your early warning for broken encryption

TLS-RPT asks other mail servers to report back when they couldn't deliver to you over an encrypted connection, so you find out before it quietly costs you mail.

What it is

TLS-RPT (SMTP TLS Reporting) is a small DNS record that invites the mail servers sending to you to send a daily report whenever they fail to set up a secure, encrypted connection to your domain. It turns silent delivery problems into something you can actually see.

Why it matters

Encryption controls like MTA-STS are powerful, but when they break - an expired certificate, a misconfigured server - mail just stops arriving, with no bounce to warn you. TLS-RPT is the feedback loop: it tells you something is wrong while it is still easy to fix.

What "good" looks like

A published TLS-RPT record pointing at an inbox or service that actually reads the reports, paired with enforced MTA-STS - so you get the protection of forced encryption and the visibility to catch it the moment it slips. Collecting the reports is one thing; making sense of them is what we do for you.
