intro := `MTA-STS is an opt-in mechanism to signal to remote SMTP servers which MX records are valid and that they must use the STARTTLS command and verify the TLS connecction. Email servers should already be using STARTTLS to protect communication, but active attackers can, and have in the past, removed the indication of support for the optional STARTTLS support from SMTP sessions, or added additional MX records in DNS responses. MTA-STS protects against compromised DNS and compromised plaintext SMTP sessions, but not against compromised internet PKI infrastructure. If an attacker controls a certificate authority, and is willing to use it, MTA-STS does not prevent an attack. MTA-STS does not protect against attackers on first contact with a domain. Only on subsequent contacts, with MTA-STS policies in the cache, can attacks can be detected. intro := `MTA-STS is an opt-in mechanism to signal to remote SMTP servers which MX records are valid and that they must use the STARTTLS command and verify the TLS connection.

After enabling MTA-STS for this domain, remote SMTP servers may still deliver in plain text, without TLS-protection. MTA-STS is an opt-in mechanism, not all servers support it yet.
