protect outgoing verification e-mails?</a></h3>
<p>
We use a modern standard called
<a href="https://www.hardenize.com/blog/mta-sts" target="_blank">MTA-STS</a>,
combined with
<a href="https://starttls-everywhere.org/" target="_blank">STARTTLS Everywhere</a>
by the EFF,
to make sure verification e-mails are sent out securely.
This protects against eavesdropping and interception during delivery.
</p>
<p>
The MTA-STS mechanism depends on correctly configured e-mail servers.
You can <a href="https://www.hardenize.com/">run this test</a>
to see if your e-mail provider supports it.
If the "MTA-STS" entry on the left isn't a green checkmark,
please ask your provider to update their configuration.
