Ftc uses Amazon SES as their primary email service provider. They rank #1,751 in the Tranco list of most-popular domains. Their email authentication setup is solid (score 85/100).
Amazon SESAuthentication 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 1 email we've observed. DMARC policy is read live from DNS.
DMARC reports sent to dhs.gov. Policy
p=reject means receivers actively block or quarantine spoofed mail.
SPF alignment: all 8 observed emails use a return-path aligned with ftc.gov (us-east.subscribe.ftc.gov). SPF authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.
DKIM alignment: all 5 observed emails sign with a domain aligned with ftc.gov (subscribe.ftc.gov). DKIM authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.
Brands often use multiple ESPs (e.g. one for marketing, another for transactional/notifications).
None — only the primary ESP(s) shown aboveESPs 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.
"Observed" pills mean we detected emails from these ESPs, but they don't appear in any SPF record we probed. They may still be properly authorized — sending infrastructure can live on subdomains we haven't seen yet, or use IP-listing instead of include: directives.
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.
