We've recorded 2 ESP changes since first observing this brand.
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.
SPF / DKIM / DMARC above reflect the last 10 emails we've observed. DMARC policy is read live from DNS.
DMARC reports sent to amazon.com. Policy
p=quarantine means receivers actively block or quarantine spoofed mail.
SPF alignment: 92% of observed emails use an aligned return-path (bounces.amazon.com, bounce.email.health.amazon.com, corpmail.amazon.com); the rest use third-party paths (amazonses.com, gmail.com, us-west-2.amazonses.com) where DMARC has to rely on DKIM alignment.
DKIM alignment: all 590 observed emails sign with a domain aligned with amazon.com (amazon.com, email.health.amazon.com, about.amazon.com). DKIM authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.
TLS: modern — 99% TLS 1.3 (across 356 sends).
Delivery: fast — 99% of emails in the last 7 days arrive in under 10 seconds (across 115 sends).
Brands often use multiple ESPs (e.g. one for marketing, another for transactional/notifications).
Salesforce MC 10 Pardot 5 Acoustic 1ESPs 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.
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.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pardot | 4 | 75.0% | 0.0% | 25.0% | |

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