MTA-STS & TLS Reporting
Issues: No MTA-STS configured — email in transit is vulnerable to TLS downgrade attacks; sending servers cannot verify your mail server requires TLS; No TLSRPT record (_smtp._tls) — TLS delivery failures won't be reported to the domain owner.

DNS Configuration
Strengths: 6 nameservers configured (a13-65.akam.net, a1-109.akam.net, a11-65.akam.net, a6-64.akam.net...); SOA record present and MNAME consistent with NS set; 1 MX record(s) present; Zone transfers properly restricted on all nameservers; Address records present: 1 A record(s). Issues: All nameservers are from a single provider (akam.net) — a provider outage takes down the domain; DNSSEC not configured — DNS responses can be spoofed or tampered with in transit (DNS cache poisoning).

DMARC / Email Security
Strengths: DMARC policy set to quarantine; DMARC pct=100 — policy applies to all mail; Aggregate reports (rua) configured; Forensic reports (ruf) configured; SPF soft-fail (~all) configured; SPF DNS lookup count: 2/10 (within limit); DKIM configured (selectors: selector2, s1, s2, cm). Issues: DMARC policy is 'quarantine', not 'reject' — spoofed mail is moved to spam rather than blocked outright; DMARC sp=none — subdomains are unprotected even though apex has p=quarantine. Attackers can spoof sub.subway.com.
