Email setup 73/100

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.

Solid setup, room to improve

SPF lookups 5/10

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

Authentication

DMARC reports sent to proofpoint.com. Policy p=none is monitor-only — receivers won't act on spoofing yet.

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

DKIM alignment: all 4 observed emails sign with a domain aligned with wholefoodsmarket.com (wholefoodsmarket.com). DKIM authenticates the visible From — supports DMARC directly.

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.
