Number 1 of the Top 100 · Tranco rank 1

What we noticed
- The SPF record marks an unlisted sender as a soft failure. A hard failure is stronger.
- No DKIM selector answered, so the mail of the domain carries no signature.
Senders it names Google Workspace
- Google Workspace include:_spf.google.com
- Google Workspace runs its mail hosts
These are the services the records name. A record can name a service no longer used, and a sender can sign without being named.
