Findings
-
spf
SPF ends in ~all (softfail); unauthorised mail is marked rather than rejected.
v=spf1 include:nytimes.com._nspf.vali.email include:%{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email include:_spf.e.sparkpost.com include:amazonses.com ~allFix: Move to -all once you have confirmed all senders are listed.
-
mta sts
No MTA-STS policy, so inbound mail can be downgraded to an unencrypted connection.
Fix: Publish _mta-sts.nytimes.com and host a policy at https://mta-sts.nytimes.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt.
-
mx
Mail is handled by Google Workspace.
