Several platforms sending from one domain
Business mail, CRM campaigns, newsletters, transactional platforms or cold-outreach tools share reputation and authentication signals.
Email Deliverability Audit
For businesses whose email goes out through several platforms—Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, a CRM, a newsletter tool, a transactional service—and is landing in spam, bouncing or being deferred. The audit investigates the authentication, reputation, infrastructure and sending practices behind the problem, then delivers written findings and a prioritised remediation plan.
Basic Audit $180 per domain · Full Audit $399 per domain — scope and price confirmed before access is requested.
Signs a Domain Needs a Full Email Deliverability Audit
A complete audit is most useful when the sending environment—not one isolated record—needs to be understood.
Inbox placement declining with no single cause
Spam placement, blocks, deferrals, bounces or engagement changed over time and isolated fixes have not restored confidence.
Review the spam-placement guide →A team needing documented remediation priorities
Several stakeholders or providers are involved and you need one evidence-led record of findings, dependencies and next actions.
What an Email Deliverability Audit Includes
The final scope follows your systems and symptoms. These are the evidence areas commonly reviewed.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC authentication checks
SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, return-path and DMARC alignment, DKIM selectors, forwarding effects and every service authorised to send for the domain.
Read the SPF, DKIM and DMARC troubleshooting guide →MX, DNS and sending infrastructure
Sending domains and subdomains, MX and DNS records, shared or dedicated IPs, SMTP and API settings, and conflicts between Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and the other platforms sending as the domain.
Blocklist, blacklist and reputation checks
Google Postmaster Tools and Microsoft SNDS data where available, blocklist listings, deferrals, bounces, complaint rates, inbox placement and spam folder reporting, and the limits of what each source can show.
Read the sender reputation recovery guide →Transactional and marketing mail stream separation
Whether business, transactional and marketing email share a domain or IP, plus recent changes in sending volume, frequency, audience or warm-up pattern.
Email list hygiene and suppression practices
How contacts are acquired, confirmed, suppressed and re-engaged, including hard-bounce and spam-complaint handling that affects sender reputation.
Bulk sender requirements and message headers
One-click unsubscribe, From and Reply-To identity consistency, message headers and content patterns, checked against Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook bulk sender requirements where relevant to the symptoms.
A scan is not the audit. Automated tests are useful evidence, but they rarely explain how several sending systems, reputation signals and operational choices interact. The audit connects those findings and states their limitations.
Email Deliverability Audit Pricing
Two tiers, priced per domain. Both end in written findings and a prioritised remediation roadmap.
Authentication baseline
Basic Email Deliverability Audit
$180per domain
Establishes whether the records that identify you as a legitimate sender are correct, aligned and doing what you think they are doing.
- SPF record, lookup count and authorised senders
- DKIM selectors and signing
- DMARC policy and alignment
- MX routing and mail acceptance
Full sending environment
Full Email Deliverability Audit
$399per domain
For a domain where several systems send and isolated fixes have not held. Adds the reputation evidence that authentication records alone cannot explain.
- Everything in the Basic Audit
- Blocklist checks across major providers
- Spam placement and filtering reports
- Conflicts between platforms sharing the domain
Both tiers end at the findings and the roadmap. Implementation is not included and is scoped separately once you know what needs changing — see email deliverability services for remediation and verification.
How YeevuFix Audits Email Deliverability
A controlled investigation with agreed access, recorded findings and no unapproved changes.
01
Scope the domains, platforms and mail streams
We identify the domains, sending platforms, mail streams, symptoms and evidence needed, then confirm timing and price before paid work begins.
02
Collect DNS, provider and sending-platform evidence
We review public records and the agreed provider, platform or sending data. Any required access uses a named least-privilege account.
03
Link symptoms to root causes across mail streams
Findings are assessed together so a visible symptom is not mistaken for the root cause and one repair does not damage another mail stream.
04
Deliver the prioritised remediation roadmap
You receive prioritised findings, recommended actions, dependencies and verification steps. Implementation can then be scoped separately if needed.
Email Deliverability Audit Deliverables
A usable decision document, not a collection of unexplained screenshots.
Written audit findings
What was checked, what the evidence shows, important limitations and the relationship between the key issues.
Prioritised remediation roadmap
Actions ordered by importance, risk and dependency so the team knows what to change first and why.
Post-fix verification plan
The records, provider signals or controlled tests that should be checked after implementation, including any observation period required.
What an Email Deliverability Audit Examines
Each area of the email deliverability audit produces evidence, not an opinion.
Authentication in the email deliverability audit
The email deliverability audit verifies SPF, DKIM and DMARC as published, then tests whether they align on mail that is actually sent.
Reputation in the email deliverability audit
The email deliverability audit checks domain and IP standing against provider postmaster data and the blocklists that matter commercially.
Infrastructure in the email deliverability audit
The email deliverability audit maps every system authorised to send as the domain, which is usually where the surprises are.
Sending practice in the email deliverability audit
The email deliverability audit reviews list hygiene, consent, volume patterns and stream separation, because most placement problems start here.
How we handle access
We work from a named, least-privilege account you create for us, require multi-factor authentication on anything we touch, capture the prior state before every approved change and provide a written revocation checklist at handover. Yeevu LLC provides the service, receives payment and carries the liability.
Trust & Security →Email Deliverability Audit FAQs
What is an email deliverability audit?
An email deliverability audit is a structured investigation of the systems and practices that influence whether legitimate messages are accepted and placed in the inbox. It connects authentication, DNS, sending infrastructure, reputation, provider evidence and sending behaviour into one prioritised set of findings.
What does an email deliverability audit include?
Scope is confirmed before work begins. A typical audit covers SPF, DKIM and DMARC alignment; sending domains and return paths; relevant blocklists and reputation data; mailbox-provider evidence; sending platforms; bounce and complaint patterns; list and volume practices; and conflicts between systems using the same domain.
How long does an email deliverability audit take?
Timing depends on the number of domains, sending platforms and evidence sources involved. We confirm the expected delivery window after intake. Complex reputation cases can also need an observation period rather than a one-time scan.
Does an email deliverability audit need access to email systems?
Some checks are public, while provider dashboards, sending logs or platform configuration may require temporary access. When access is needed, we request a named least-privilege account with multi-factor authentication and provide revocation steps at handover.
Can YeevuFix implement the email deliverability audit recommendations?
Yes, as separate work. The audit ends at the findings and the roadmap; remediation is scoped once you know what needs changing through our email deliverability services. YeevuFix can then handle the agreed DNS, authentication and platform changes or work alongside your internal team and other providers.
How much does an email deliverability audit cost?
The Basic Audit is $180 per domain and covers SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX — the records that decide whether providers can identify you as a legitimate sender. The Full Audit is $399 per domain and adds blocklist checks, spam placement reporting and conflicts between platforms sending from the same domain. Scope is confirmed before access is requested, and neither tier includes implementation.
Does an email deliverability audit guarantee inbox placement?
No. Mailbox providers control their own filtering, so no consultant can guarantee placement. The audit identifies controllable causes, evidence gaps and remediation priorities so decisions are based on the sending environment rather than guesswork.
