Like any external email sending platform, Gannett's infrastructure is delegated through SPF include mechanisms in the sending domain's DNS. Organisations using such platforms become dependent on the provider's IP reputation, compliance posture, and abuse controls — the domain's email deliverability is directly affected by how well the platform manages its own sending practices. This is a standard trade-off of outsourced email infrastructure: centralised operational expertise in exchange for shared reputation risk across all platform tenants.
