5 weak

Can mail be forged as this domain?

Yes, a forgery is delivered

DMARC is set to p=none, which only asks for reports, so a receiver that honours what this domain publishes is not told to reject a message with it in the From header, and delivers it.

  • Weak

    SPF ~all

    The record ends in ~all. Mail from a host outside the list is only marked, not rejected, so it usually still arrives.

  • Weak

    DMARC p=none

    A DMARC record is published, but p=none only asks for reports. Receivers are told to deliver failing mail anyway, so this stops no forgery.

    A checker that reports "DMARC found" here is telling you nothing useful.

  • Weak

    MTA-STS Not published

    No MTA-STS policy, so a sending server has nothing that tells it to insist on verified TLS for this domain.

  • Weak

    DNSSEC Not signed

    The zone is not signed. A resolver has no cryptographic way to tell a real answer from a forged one.

  • Weak

    TLS-RPT Not published

    No reporting address, so failed TLS deliveries to this domain go unnoticed by its owner.

Why it scores 91?

  1. Registered more than five years ago.
  2. Accepts mail through 1 MX host.
  3. A website answers on this domain.

What to publish to close the gaps

The records videotron.ca is missing, in the order they are worth doing. Owner names are written out in full, so they work whether your DNS panel wants a full name or a relative one.

  1. Tighten SPF to -all

    Namevideotron.ca
    TypeTXT
    Valuev=spf1 <your existing mechanisms> -all

    Keep the mechanisms you already have and change the final qualifier. Anything softer leaves the forgery path open.

  2. Move DMARC off p=none

    Name_dmarc.videotron.ca
    TypeTXT
    Valuev=DMARC1; p=quarantine; pct=100; rua=mailto:[email protected]

    p=none blocks nothing. Once your reports show every legitimate sender passing, raise the policy to quarantine and then to reject.

  3. Publish an MTA-STS policy

    Name_mta-sts.videotron.ca
    TypeTXT
    Valuev=STSv1; id=<a version string you bump on every change>

    Serve the policy body at https://mta-sts.videotron.ca/.well-known/mta-sts.txt, start it in testing mode, then switch it to enforce so senders refuse to deliver over an unverified connection.

  4. Publish a TLS reporting address

    Name_smtp._tls.videotron.ca
    TypeTXT
    Valuev=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:[email protected]

    Without it, a sending server that could not negotiate TLS with your mail hosts has nowhere to tell you.

  5. Sign the zone with DNSSEC

    Turn DNSSEC on with your DNS provider, then publish the DS record it hands you at your registrar. Every record above is only as trustworthy as the answer that carries it, and signing the zone is what makes the answers verifiable.
