SPF lookups 5/10

SPF / DKIM / DMARC above reflect the last 9 emails we've observed. DMARC policy is read live from DNS.

Authentication

DMARC reports sent to Validity (EmailAnalyst). Policy p=quarantine means receivers actively block or quarantine spoofed mail.

SPF alignment: all 32 observed emails use a return-path aligned with bird.com (bounce.bird.com, send.notifications.bird.com, send-us.notifications.bird.com). SPF authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.

DKIM alignment: all 32 observed emails sign with a domain aligned with bird.com (bird.com, notifications.bird.com). DKIM authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.

Transport & deliverability

TLS: 0% TLS 1.3, 100% TLS 1.2 (across 14 sends).

Delivery: fast — 100% of emails in the last 7 days arrive in under 10 seconds (across 8 sends).

SparkPost ✓ confirmed

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.
