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

Authentication

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

SPF alignment: all 43 observed emails use a return-path aligned with hims.com (mail.news.hims.com, mail.alerts.hims.com). SPF authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.

DKIM alignment: all 43 observed emails sign with a domain aligned with hims.com (news.hims.com, alerts.hims.com). DKIM authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.

Transport & deliverability

TLS: modern — 100% TLS 1.3 (across 43 sends).

Delivery: fast — 100% of emails in the last 7 days arrive in under 10 seconds (across 37 sends).

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.
