Read-only public DNS lookups only; nothing is sent. Bulk-sender rules also require one-click unsubscribe and a low spam-complaint rate, which DNS cannot show. Provider DKIM selectors vary; copy exact values from your email provider. Blocklists checked: SpamCop and PSBL. Not a guarantee of inbox placement.
