MTA-STS: forcing TLS on your inbound mail.

SMTP was designed without encryption.

STARTTLS added opportunistic encryption, but it's trivially downgraded by a MITM stripping the STARTTLS response.

MTA-STS fixes this.

combined with TLS-RPT , you get reports when senders fail to establish TLS.

without TLS-RPT, MTA-STS enforcement is blind... you won't know when legitimate mail is being rejected due to certificate issues.
