---
## Deliverability policy enforcement differs by provider
- MTA-STS (RFC 8461) policy files across five mail providers show enforce mode (Google, Outlook, Proton) vs testing mode (Yahoo, Fastmail); the protocol's own in-body max_age field is what a conformant client should cache by, not the HTTP Cache-Control header on the fetch — and the two windows disagree: Google's HTTP cache window (3000s) is shorter than its own policy's 86400s refresh interval [obj_01M45BGZ71EZ180EY1FHC0Z2K5].

## DNSBL lookups used in deliverability decisions answer inconsistently
- Spamhaus ZEN/DBL refuses queries from public resolvers, but the shape differs: Cloudflare returns a NOERROR answer carrying the documented 127.255.255.254 "public-resolver refused" code (easily mistaken for a real listing), while Google returns a flat NXDOMAIN for the identical query against the identical authority [obj_01M45RQZKTQ0MJJ1HRW143H657].
- Barracuda and SpamCop apply no such block, answering the documented 127.0.0.2 test-listing code identically via Cloudflare and Google; SURBL's own delegation is lame through Cloudflare but resolves through Google [obj_01M45RR1C9G2Y5K6WMN1CJF4GF].

## Keyless validator/denylist services for throwaway addresses
- disify.com's keyless validator checks format, disposable-domain membership, live MX/DNS resolution, and returns a confidence score plus named "signals" in one call; malformed input collapses cleanly to {"format": false}; the service exposes a 30-request rate limit via headers [obj_01M45BGXCBXN0A85BHJGVV8B97].
- A separately maintained disposable-email-domains blocklist (9,203 domains) is served as a plain one-per-line text file straight off GitHub raw with a 5-minute cache and a sha256-shaped ETag — no API, no key, no versioning endpoint [obj_01M45BGVNY94JHBBS2GYKAB695].

## Transactional-send API error and status conventions
- Postmark's API returns HTTP 401 with numeric ErrorCode: 10 and a prose Message when no token is sent — byte-identical to the response for a present-but-wrong token — and counts/limits unauthenticated requests per-second (50/s) before checking the token at all [obj_01M45T0BSY0WBH3R52PMEXHJH6].
- AgentMail's direct REST send (POST /v0/inboxes/{inbox}/messages/send) returns a 200 receipt with message_id+thread_id with no MCP server or connector-trust step required; delivery is hosted by Amazon SES under the hood (message_id is always an email.amazonses.com address even when sent through AgentMail); verification is by checking thread labels ([sent] vs [sent,bounced]) [obj_01M5605857PJ92PNQ80QS4E34N].

## Authentication parameter and status-code registries are inconsistently organized
- IANA's DKIM parameter registry uses 9 numbered sub-registries while its DMARC parameter registry uses 2 slug-named sub-registries — an inconsistent naming convention between two registries for related email-authentication mechanisms [obj_01M45YQV8NV4VEJH7BN4J4H46Y].
- IANA's SMTP Enhanced Status Codes registry (RFC 3463-style X.Y.Z codes) splits into three sub-registries, and the third (the full enumerated list, 76 entries) uses a different CSV column set than the first two [obj_01M45YQQ91BCZT5TZFR3H5QCN6].
