Email

Oxford University Press

DMARC policy is p=none

DMARC policy is p=none. This provides no protection against fraudulent emails. The DMARC policy should be migrated to p=quarantine, and eventually p=reject.

SPF policy uses ~all

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record is too lenient as to which domains are allowed to send email on the domain's behalf. This record should preferably not use the ~all mechanism, as this does not instruct the mail receiver to reject messages from unauthorised sources. When DMARC is not being enforced, -all should be used on the SPF record.

DMARC policy exists

DMARC protects against fraudulent emails being sent from a domain.

SPF enabled

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records prevent spammers from sending messages with forged addresses.

SPF syntax correct

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record passes basic syntax checks.

SPF ptr mechanism not used

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record does not include the ptr mechanism.
