Check MTA-STS.

MTA-STS makes sending servers encrypt the connection to your mail server and verify its certificate, and TLS-RPT reports failed attempts. I check the record, the policy file and MX coverage.

§ 03 FAQ

Before you ask.

Does a store need MTA-STS?

It protects inbound mail from eavesdropping and downgrade attacks. For a small store it is optional; with mail at Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 the provider will not set it up for you, but the risk is small.

Where does the policy file go?

At https://mta-sts.yourdomain.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt, with a valid certificate for the mta-sts subdomain. The file holds version, mode, the mx list and max_age.

Testing or enforce?

Start with mode: testing plus TLS-RPT, read the reports for a week, then switch to enforce. In enforce, an MX outside the list means rejected mail.
