Email setup 80/100

SPF lookups 8/10

SPF / DKIM / DMARC above reflect the last 5 emails we've observed. DMARC policy is read live from DNS.

Authentication

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

DKIM alignment: all 5 observed emails sign with a domain aligned with takealot.com (newsletters.takealot.com, transactions.takealot.com). DKIM authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.

Transport & deliverability

TLS: 0% TLS 1.3, 100% TLS 1.2 (across 5 sends).

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

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.
