Email Deliverability Tools

MTA-STS Checker

Check MTA-STS DNS and policy file availability.

Run the check

Enter a public target. Checks are a point-in-time sample; private and internal addresses are blocked.

What this tool checks

  • _mta-sts TXT record
  • HTTPS policy file
  • version: STSv1 check

Why it matters

MTA-STS helps receiving servers enforce encrypted SMTP delivery.

Plain-English examples

  • Check https://mta-sts.example.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt

Recommended fixes

  • Serve the policy over valid HTTPS
  • Keep MX patterns accurate

Understanding the result

Use findings as a starting point, confirm the intended configuration with your provider, and retest after a change. A successful check does not guarantee security, delivery, uptime or search rankings. Results depend on public DNS and what the server exposes at the time of the check.
