Email setup 100/100

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.

DMARC reports sent to Agari (Proofpoint). Policy p=reject means receivers actively block or quarantine spoofed mail.

Other ESPs detected

Brands often use multiple ESPs (e.g. one for marketing, another for transactional/notifications).

None — only the primary ESP(s) shown above

Confirmed senders

ESPs 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.

SparkPost observed

"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.

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.

ESP activity over time

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