Symptoms#
- Messages landing in spam despite previously good placement
- Bounces mentioning policy, authentication, or reputation
- Provider dashboards showing a drop in reputation or authentication pass rate
Diagnosis steps#
- Confirm the configuration is live: query DNS from an external resolver and check the sending platform's settings page.
- Send to a seed mailbox and read the full headers, especially Authentication-Results.
- Compare the domains in From, Return-Path, and DKIM d= for alignment.
- Check provider dashboards (Google Postmaster Tools, Microsoft SNDS) for reputation and error rates.
- Review recent changes: new vendors, DNS edits, list imports, volume spikes.
Likely causes#
- Exposing full calendar details rather than free/busy.
- Ignoring time zones in proposed slots.
Fix and re-verify#
- Connect your calendar so the assistant can read free/busy.
- Define working hours, buffers, and meeting types.
- Let the assistant propose two or three slots in your reply draft.
- Confirm and create the event with a video link automatically.
Frequently asked questions#
Can AI schedule meetings from email automatically?
Yes. MailMaid reads calendar constraints and drafts replies with available slots, then creates the event on confirmation.
