StatusPage emails fail DMARC, go to spam

[Liam Hennessy]

I have subscribed to email notifications on the status pages of several users of StatusPage. Recently, their messages are going to my Gmail spam folder. I think that this is because they fail the DMARC check.

Here's an example taken from Gmail's "Show Original" feature. When DigitalOcean created an incident in StatusPage, StatusPage sent an email to subscribers via an email service (SendGrid).

Who has something configured incorrectly, StatusPage, SendGrid, or DigitalOcean?

Hi @Liam Hennessy ,

Since SPF and DKIM both pass individually, the issue likely lies in domain alignment. The DKIM is passing with Sendgrid, but the 'from' address is statuspage.io - which is likely causing a DMARC failure due to the misalignment. 

If you can reach out to DigitalOcean and have them contact Statuspage support, we can look deeper into the matter, with their account access.

Thanks John, I'll do that.
