Findings
-
spf
SPF ends in ~all (softfail); unauthorised mail is marked rather than rejected.
v=spf1 include:pp._spf.paypal.com include:3ph1._spf.paypal.com include:3ph2._spf.paypal.com include:3ph3._spf.paypal.com include:3ph4._spf.paypal.com include:sendgrid.net include:aspmx.pardot.com ~all
Fix: Move to -all once you have confirmed all senders are listed.
-
mta sts
