Advanced Email Security Audit

Comprehensive email authentication including BIMI and MTA-STS

Go beyond basic SPF/DKIM/DMARC checks with advanced email security features. Validate BIMI brand indicators, verify MTA-STS enforcement, and ensure mail server health across your entire domain portfolio.

The Challenge

Basic email authentication is necessary but not sufficient for enterprise email security. Advanced features like BIMI for brand verification, MTA-STS for transport security, and comprehensive mail server health monitoring require specialized tools and expertise.

The Solution

Use EdgeDNS to perform comprehensive email security audits covering all authentication mechanisms (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS), mail server health, and configuration best practices. Get unified scoring and actionable recommendations.

Code Example

Comprehensive email security audit

javascript
async function advancedEmailAudit(domain) {
  const headers = { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' };

  const [spf, dkim, dmarc, bimi, mtasts, mxHealth, score] = await Promise.all([
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/security/spf?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),
    fetch(`https://api.edgedns.dev/v1/security/dkim?domain=${domain}`, { headers }),

  ].map(p => p.then(r => r.json())));

  return {
