MTA-STS adoption by country, 2026

MTA-STS forces encrypted (TLS) delivery to your domain and reports failures. We measured how many of the top domains in each country publish it — and how many only test it instead of enforcing.

Enforce vs testing mode

MTA-STS only protects delivery when its policy is in enforce mode. In testing mode it merely reports — a common half-measure. The table below separates the two, so “adoption” isn’t mistaken for protection.
