Email setup 65/100

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.

Authentication

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

SPF alignment: observed emails use a third-party return-path (sarbacane.com) — SPF passes there but doesn't align with positivegroup.com, so DMARC has to rely on DKIM alignment.

DKIM alignment: all 19 observed emails sign with a domain aligned with positivegroup.com (positivegroup.com). DKIM authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.

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.

Sarbacane 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.

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. Per-ESP folder data only started being captured recently — counts here may be smaller than the total above until backfill catches up.
