First of all, Go to the Managed MTA-STS section, and click on the Activate button in the upper right corner.
2. You’ll be provided with three CNAME records. These records will need to be added to your DNS.
3. In your DNS zone, enter the three CNAME records provided. For example:
Note: If you're using Cloudflare make sure to turn off Cloudflare's Proxy Status.
4. Once the CNAME records are defined and saved, go back to the Managed MTA-STS dashboard and click on Verify. (Please keep in mind that DNS propagation can take some time).
5. After successful propagation and activation, you’ll see an ACTIVE status, confirming that MTA-STS and TLS reporting have been properly implemented.
6. You can now manage all MTA-STS settings directly from the dashboard, such as changing the policy mode. Remember to click on Apply Changes after each update, to ensure all your changes are automatically updated in your DNS.
7. Once everything is properly configured, you can monitor your TLS reports in the TLS Reports section, where you’ll have access to the dashboard and detailed reports.
In conclusion, implementing Managed MTA-STS and TLS Reporting ensures secure email communication and simplifies policy management through an intuitive dashboard, enhancing both email security and ease of administration.
