Is TLS-RPT (SMTP TLS Reporting) published for failure visibility?
TLS-RPT publishes a reporting address for SMTP-TLS failures. Without it, downgrade attacks on inbound mail go unnoticed (SOC 2 CC7.2).
How to answer this
Whichever verdict your domain earns, this is the wording to put in the response box. Reviewers mark an answer down for vagueness more often than for a "No", so say which state you are in and what evidences it.
- Yes
- TLS-RPT is published with a valid reporting address
- Partial
- TLS-RPT is published but with configuration warnings
- No
- TLS-RPT is not published for this domain

Domain Posture is not an audit and does not replace an auditor. See methodology v1 for how each verdict is reached.
When a "Yes" stops being true
TLS-RPT reporting address removed.
That is the whole problem with answering a questionnaire from a screenshot: the answer was true the day you took it. A signed evidence pack is dated, and a schedule re-checks it so you find out before your reviewer does.
