Email setup 85/100

Authentication signals observed in this brand's emails. SPF, DKIM and DMARC are the standard sender-authentication stack — see the DMARC policy below for whether spoofing is actually blocked or just monitored. One-click unsubscribe meets Google & Yahoo's bulk-sender requirements.

Strong email setup
Authentication is in good shape — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC enforcement all configured.

SPF lookups 10/10

SPF / DKIM / DMARC above reflect the last 10 emails we've observed. DMARC policy is read live from DNS.

Authentication

DMARC reports sent to DMARC Digests. Policy p=reject means receivers actively block or quarantine spoofed mail.

SPF alignment: 22% of observed emails use an aligned return-path (pm-bounces.activecampaign.com, out.activecampaign.com, em3689.activecampaign.com); the rest use third-party paths (adsalsagroup.com, gmail.com) where DMARC has to rely on DKIM alignment.

DKIM alignment: all 203 observed emails sign with a domain aligned with activecampaign.com (activecampaign.com, mail26.euc1.acems2.com, s2.csa2.acemsb2.com). DKIM authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.

Transport & deliverability

TLS: modern — 100% TLS 1.3 (across 105 sends).

🚨 Extreme delivery delays observed

7 of 39 emails in the last 7 days were delayed beyond 5 minutes (18%) — peaks crossed 4 hours, which usually means stalled queues or hard receiver throttling. Slow sends averaged 2 h 55 min, peaked at 5 h 44 min. Healthy senders deliver in under 30 seconds. Consistent delays usually mean greylisting, reputation-based throttling, or receiver-side filter scrutiny — worth investigating sender reputation and authentication setup.

Other ESPs detected

Brands often use multiple ESPs (e.g. one for marketing, another for transactional/notifications).

Confirmed senders

ESPs we've seen sending email for this brand. Green = confirmed by SPF, sender IP rDNS, or known infra pairing (label shows the source). Grey = observed but not yet confirmed by SPF or PTR.

ActiveCampaign ✓ confirmed Postmark ✓ confirmed SendGrid ✓ confirmed Zendesk ✓ via sending IP

Other SPF authorizations

ESPs this brand has authorized in their SPF record. We confirm them with a green ✓ only after seeing recurring use (3+ emails across 2+ days). Until then they stay here — either we haven't observed any email yet, or we've seen a handful but not enough to call them a regular sender for the brand.

Placement by ESP

Which ESP's emails are landing where. Sorted by spam % so problem senders surface first. Brands using one ESP for marketing and another for transactional often see very different placement profiles per ESP. Per-ESP folder data only started being captured recently — counts here may be smaller than the total above until backfill catches up.

Daily observations per ESP. Brands often run multiple ESPs concurrently — marketing on one, transactional on another — so this chart shows usage rather than switches.
