TLS reporting

Share of email-active domains publishing no TLS-RPT (SMTP TLS reporting) record.

Measured every Monday · last updated

How it is measured

Tier 0. TXT at _smtp._tls.<domain> for v=TLSRPTv1. Denominator: has_mx.

Why it matters

Without TLS-RPT, a domain has no way to learn that mail to it is being delivered in the clear or that its MTA-STS policy is failing. It is the feedback loop that makes the other two enforceable rather than aspirational.

Limits of this measurement

Low severity and near-universally absent, so it is reported as context on adoption maturity rather than as an urgent defect.

The base rate

Two independent populations. The global, domain-anchored figure is unbiased; the company-anchored figures are built by matching company names to domains and skew toward more digitally-mature firms. Both are published, so the gap is visible.
