What we check

Reverse DNS, both waysYour IP has a PTR record, the PTR hostname resolves back to the same IP, and your HELO name matches.
SPFRecord syntax, the 10-lookup limit, ?all/+all policies, and whether your IP is authorised.
DKIMEvery signature verified, with the cause of any failure diagnosed (body changed vs wrong key), plus key size and signed headers.
DMARCRecord, policy, alignment with your From address, and reporting addresses.
BlocklistsSpamhaus, Barracuda, SpamCop and more for your IP; Spamhaus DBL, SURBL and URIBL for your domains and links.
SpamAssassinA full SpamAssassin scan, with every rule that matched.
Bulk-sender rulesThe Gmail/Yahoo/Microsoft requirements: one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058), alignment and signed headers.
Content & linksMIME structure, text/HTML versions, images, dangerous HTML and attachments, URL shorteners, phishing-style and broken links.
TransportSTARTTLS and TLS version, protocol mistakes such as bare line feeds and talking too early, and header hygiene.
