Last updated from the 2026-07-26 DNS snapshot.
US helpdesk SaaS sending customer-support emails.
Directory category: Esp. The classification comes from include: mechanisms in the SPF record. It describes observed DNS infrastructure, not a commercial relationship and not the placement of any individual message.
Across 112 distinct TLDs its top three are .com (68.7%), .io (4.4%), .org (3.5%) — together 76.6% of the 2,319 domains, which makes the footprint narrow — three TLDs cover most of it, which is typical of a regional or single-market operator. The service most often observed on the same domains is Google Workspace (Mailbox, 1,375 domains, 59.3% of them), followed by Microsoft 365 (15.6%). Its share of SPF-publishing domains moved -0.01 pp in 30 days — inside the daily noise of list rotation. Directly comparable by the same detection rule: Amazon SES, SendGrid (Twilio), Mailgun. Ranking between them reflects what is published in DNS, not delivery quality or volume sent. All figures come from a single daily DNS snapshot (2026-07-26); a domain appears here when its published records match the include: mechanisms in the SPF record rule, which is an infrastructure fact, not a commercial relationship.
