If they use a reputable bulk mailing service instead of using their first-party domain then they are indistinguishable from a phishing attack.
- BGZq7 6y ago> If they use a reputable bulk mailing service instead of using their first-party domain then they are indistinguishable from a phishing attack. With most bulk mailing services, the message will come from the "first-party domain". They will have configured that service as a legitimate sender for the domain via SPF/DKIM DNS records.

They will have configured that service as a legitimate sender for the domain via SPF/DKIM DNS records. It's not just the from:marketing@firstparty.com that I'm talking about. If the unsubscribe link does not also go to firstparty.com, then it's still indistinguishable from phishing.
