TLS-RPT & Email Security
What is a TLS-RPT Check tool?
A TLS RPT check tool verifies whether a domain’s TLS reporting record is correctly configured in the DNS. It helps domain owners monitor email encryption issues, failed connections, and misconfigurations in SMTP TLS security. By analyzing reports, businesses can identify vulnerabilities, ensure secure email transmission, and enhance email security and compliance against cyber threats.
How to use a TLS-RPT Record checker tool?
Using a TLS-RPT record checker tool helps verify your domain’s TLS reporting setup.
- Enter your domain name- Input your domain into the checker tool.
- Scan DNS records- The tool will check for a valid TLS-RPT TXT record in your DNS settings.
- Review configuration- Analyze if the record is correctly formatted and active
- Identify issues- Detect any misconfigurations or missing information.
- Fix Errors- Update your DNS settings based on the tool’s feedback for enhanced email security and encryption monitoring.
