SPF
PassValid, soft failAnything not on the list is accepted but marked. Google recommends ~all; with DMARC enforced it is as strong as -all.
v=spf1 include:_u.wise.com._spf.smart.ondmarc.com ~all
DKIM
Pass6 keys foundSelectors google, k1, s1, s2, mandrill, cf2024-1 publish a public key. 3 of them point at a vendor by CNAME.
google._domainkey, k1._domainkey, s1._domainkey, s2._domainkey, mandrill._domainkey, cf2024-1._domainkey
DMARC
PassEnforced (p=reject)Failing mail is rejected. This is the finish line.
v=DMARC1; p=reject; adkim=r; pct=100; fo=1; ri=3600; rua=mailto:bb3c5ff6@inbox.ondmarc.com; ruf=mailto:bb3c5ff6@inbox.ondmarc.com;
MX
Pass5 hostsMore than one receiving server, so a single outage does not bounce mail.

MTA-STS
PassPublishedThe DNS record is present. The policy file at https://mta-sts.<domain>/.well-known/mta-sts.txt cannot be read from a browser, so its mode is not verified here.

TLS-RPT
PassPublishedTLS failure reports have somewhere to go.
v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:bb3c5ff6@inbox.ondmarc.com;
BIMI
PassPublishedLogo record found and DMARC qualifies. Yahoo shows it from the record; Gmail and Apple Mail also need a VMC or CMC certificate (the a= tag).

| Mailbox | Google Workspace | MX aspmx.l.google.com |
| Marketing | Mailchimp | DKIM k1._domainkey → dkim.mcsv.net |
| Transactional | SendGrid | DKIM s1._domainkey → s1.domainkey.u14109073.wl074.sendgrid.net |

Only tools that leave a DNS trace appear. A shared DKIM selector is attributed only when its CNAME target names the vendor.
3 · Sender requirements (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft)
| Requirement | Applies to | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authenticate with SPF or DKIM | GoogleYahooMicrosoft | Verified | At least one method is in place. |
| Bulk senders: both SPF and DKIM | GoogleYahoo | Verified | Both are present. |
| Publish a DMARC record (p=none is enough) | GoogleYahooMicrosoft | Verified | Policy is p=reject. |
| From: domain aligns with SPF or DKIM | GoogleYahooMicrosoft | Not checkable here | Needs a real message. The Send-a-Test report will check this. |
| Valid forward and reverse DNS for sending IPs | GoogleYahoo | Not checkable here | Depends on the sending server, not the domain. |
| Encrypt in transit (TLS) | GoogleYahoo | Verified | MTA-STS shows inbound TLS is required; outbound depends on your sending tool. |
| One-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058) for marketing mail | GoogleYahoo | Not checkable here | A message header, not a DNS record. Microsoft recommends it rather than requiring it. |
| Spam complaint rate under 0.1% (0.3% is the hard limit) | GoogleYahoo | Not checkable here | Read it in Google Postmaster Tools and Yahoo Sender Hub. Google’s target is 0.1%; 0.3% is where enforcement starts. |

P3
Sign the zone with DNSSEC
Protects every record in this report from being swapped in transit. Two steps: enable signing at your DNS host (one switch at Cloudflare and most others), then add the DS record it gives you at your registrar.
