The stack behind the sends

Home Chef sends with Salesforce Marketing Cloud and publishes a DMARC reject policy.

Domain authentication

DMARC: reject

Mail failing authentication is rejected outright, the strictest setting.

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

A typical Home Chef campaign carries 266 words and 6 images.

How this is measured

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