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 7 emails we've observed. DMARC policy is read live from DNS.
DMARC reports sent to DMARC Analyzer (Mimecast). Policy
p=reject means receivers actively block or quarantine spoofed mail.

2 of 4 emails in the last 7 days were delayed beyond 5 minutes (50%) — peaks past 15 minutes are well outside healthy sender behaviour. Slow sends averaged 12 min, peaked at 16 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.
Brands often use multiple ESPs (e.g. one for marketing, another for transactional/notifications).
