What is MTA-STS?
MTA-STS (Mail Transfer Agent Strict Transport Security) is an email security standard that enables domain owners to enforce TLS encryption for all incoming emails. It prevents attackers from intercepting email through downgrade attacks or man-in-the-middle techniques.
Enforce TLS Encryption
Require that all mail servers connecting to your domain use TLS encryption, preventing plaintext email transmission.
Prevent Downgrade Attacks
Stop attackers from forcing email delivery over unencrypted connections where they could intercept messages.
Certificate Validation
Verify the validity of TLS certificates presented by mail servers to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
Failure Handling
Define how mail servers should handle delivery failures when TLS requirements cannot be met.
MTA-STS Policy Modes
MTA-STS policies can be deployed in different modes depending on your security requirements:
Start here for visibility
Testing Mode
Monitor mode - report failures but deliver messages anyway
Maximum protection
Enforce Mode
Strict mode - reject delivery if TLS requirements aren't met
For policy removal only
None Mode
No policy enforcement - used to remove an existing policy
