According to Live Direct Marketing's daily Tranco top-1M scan (July 13, 2026), MailPlus is the email service provider (ESP) for 222 domains — 0.04% of 617,702 SPF-publishing domains. Detection method: include: mechanisms in the SPF record.
MailPlus is an email service provider identified across the internet through SPF include mechanisms in domain records. It appears most frequently among smaller and mid-market websites rather than among the largest global brands, clustering geographically in the .nl (Netherlands) region.
MailPlus is commonly observed running alongside Microsoft 365 in organizational mail stacks, suggesting a supplementary or hybrid role rather than a primary mail carrier. For deliverability analysts and email senders, this footprint pattern indicates that MailPlus reaches a specific—and relatively niche—segment of recipients, making targeted testing or reputation monitoring against it typically unnecessary unless dealing directly with organizations in that segment.

MailPlus frequently appears in SPF records alongside Microsoft 365, typically indicating a hybrid mail setup where MailPlus handles specific mail flows or legacy routing whilst Microsoft 365 manages primary mail transport. This pattern suggests MailPlus may be deployed for transactional mail, regional relay, or domain transition scenarios. Deliverability troubleshooting involving MailPlus should account for this hybrid context: both mail paths need verification, and authentication or reputation issues may originate from either provider depending on which routes through which system.

Testing against MailPlus is generally a low priority unless you have specific evidence that your recipients rely on it. Focus first on major ISPs and backbone providers; however, if you are sending to organizations in the Netherlands or know they operate a hybrid Microsoft 365 and MailPlus setup, monitoring both delivery paths is prudent.
