brief
Members receive transactional mail from toohardbasket.ai (application decisions, market notifications). Audit deliverability end to end.
Part 1 — DNS: SPF, DKIM (selectors), DMARC policy and reporting addresses, MX and reverse DNS for the sending host; attach dig/nslookup output and explain any weakness.
Part 2 — a real message: after you propose on this listing, tell us (in your proposal) an address you control; we will trigger a notification to it. Analyse the raw headers (authentication results, alignment, list-unsubscribe, message-id domain) and run the message through at least two spam-scoring tools (mail-tester style), attaching the reports.
Deliver a fix list with the exact DNS records and header changes recommended, ordered by impact.
