    A key existing is not the same as working. Read a real received header and check the d= value matches your before you call this done.

    Part platform, part you

    The key is your platform's to publish and it has. Whether it signs the domain in your is yours to confirm, and cannot show it — send one campaign to yourself and look for =pass header.d=hm.com in the Authentication-Results header.

  • Context

    SendGrid signs your mail, and your cannot be read to confirm it

    2 of SendGrid's selectors carry live keys on this domain, so SendGrid is signing mail as you. Whether your authorises it is not answerable by reading . Your record uses SPF macros (Valimail), so the authorised senders are resolved per message from the connecting IP and are never published as a list. No checker can settle it from DNS, including this one — anyone who tells you this record does or does not list SendGrid is guessing.

    Good to know — nothing to fix

    Send one real campaign through SendGrid and read the Authentication-Results header on what arrives. That header is the only place this question gets answered, because it is the receiver evaluating the macro against the real .

    hm-com.mail.protection.outlook.com
Where this comes from. Public DNS, and nothing else. We read the same TXT and MX records any mail server reads before accepting a message, on the days someone looked. There is no scan, no login, no mail, and no score here — only what was published and the date we saw it. Gaps are days we did not get a clean answer from a resolver, and we would rather leave those blank than guess at them.
