Issues	LOW · spfSPF uses 10 of 10 allowed DNS lookups, so one more include breaks it. Fix: Remove includes of services you no longer use before adding new ones. LOW · dkimDKIM key for selector selector1 is 1024 bits; 2048 is the current recommendation. Fix: Rotate to a 2048-bit RSA key (check that your DNS host accepts long TXT records). LOW · dkimDKIM key for selector k1 is 1024 bits; 2048 is the current recommendation. Fix: Rotate to a 2048-bit RSA key (check that your DNS host accepts long TXT records). INFO · mxOnly one MX record, so there is no backup mail server. Fix: Add a second MX with a higher priority number if your provider offers one. INFO · spfSPF ends with '~all' (softfail). This is common and acceptable when DMARC is enforced. Fix: Use '-all' once you are sure every sender is listed. INFO · mta-stsNo MTA-STS record. Inbound mail can be downgraded to unencrypted SMTP. Fix: Publish _mta-sts TXT and a policy file to require TLS (optional hardening).
