Top Priority Actions

  1. MTA-STS: Publish an MTA-STS TXT record and host a policy file at https://mta-sts.yourdomain/.well-known/mta-sts.txt.
  2. TLS-RPT: Publish a TLS-RPT record to receive reports when sending servers fail to establish encrypted connections.
  3. DMARC: Consider escalating to p=reject once compliance is consistently above 98%.
