Audits and protects sender reputation and inbox placement for permissioned marketing and lifecycle email - SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication, domain warmup, bounce and complaint thresholds, and engagement sunsetting - and delivers a scored deliverability audit checklist with a remediation order. Use when someone asks "why are my newsletters going to spam", "how do I set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC", "is my bounce rate too high", "should I send marketing from a subdomain", or is launching a new…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Email Deliverability

Sender reputation takes months to build and days to destroy, and most teams discover a deliverability problem only after open rates have already cratered. This skill audits and protects inbox placement for permissioned marketing and lifecycle email - authentication, warmup, list hygiene, and engagement - and returns a scored audit with fixes in dependency order. It exists to catch the silent killers (an unenforced DMARC policy, a stale segment, a skipped warmup) before an inbox provider does.

## Operating procedure

Work the steps in order: authentication failures poison every downstream metric, so fix identity before hygiene, and hygiene before engagement.

### Step 1: Gather inputs

Collect these before auditing anything. If a number is estimated, label it a guess and verify against the ESP dashboard before the audit ships.

- Sending domain(s), and whether marketing and transactional mail share one identity.
- ESP(s) in use; shared or dedicated sending IP.
- List size, acquisition sources (signup form, import, purchase - a purchased source is an automatic red flag), and list age.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skillmedev/skills/email-deliverability@sha256:e4526dc94a1c98b6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
