Email setup 85/100

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.

SPF / DKIM / DMARC above reflect the last 1 email we've observed. DMARC policy is read live from DNS.

Authentication

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

SPF alignment: observed emails use a third-party return-path (mg-d1.substack.com) — SPF passes there but doesn't align with tinyempires.substack.com, so DMARC has to rely on DKIM alignment.

DKIM alignment: observed emails sign with a third-party DKIM key (mg-d1.substack.com) — DKIM passes there but doesn't align with tinyempires.substack.com, so DMARC has to rely on SPF alignment.

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.
