The stack behind the sends

Backcountry sends with SendGrid and publishes a DMARC none policy.

Sends with

SendGrid

Domain authentication

DMARC: none

Failures are monitored but still delivered, so the policy is not enforced yet.

SPF also authorizes SendGrid to send as this domain, which usually means other tools sit alongside the main platform.

A typical Backcountry campaign carries 341 words and 27 images.

How this is measured

Every figure comes from real Backcountry emails captured in Inbox Archive, not from a survey or a vendor report. Compare against every brand we track, or browse Backcountry campaigns.
