I think you are seeing MS composite (or implicit) authentication at work. You 
mention that you see Junk placement on O365, and if that is if, and only if you 
send to O365-hosted mailboxes than I think that is the root cause. 
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/email-authentication-about?view=o365-worldwide).
 If you get Junk placement at other ISPs then it is something else.

Your SPF is passing, and you appear to have DKIM signed on the 
d=mail1.wpengine.com; domain. MS does not see wpengine.com align with 
hinckleyhomeinternet.com domain and it “fails” MS’s composite authentication.

If you send an email message to an O365 address look for the string compauth in 
the headers then you’ll see something like “compauth=fail reason=601” or 
similar. The easiest fix is almost certainly to get DKIM aligning on the 
hinckleyhomeinternet.com domain.

Subject: [mailop] WPEngine, Mail Channels, 365, MX Toolbox, Mail Genius
We have a website on WP Engine. WP Engine sends its email through Mail 
Channels. It's ending up in our Junk Mail box on 365.

I test via MX Toolbox's Mail Deliverability Report. It fails for "Domain not 
found in SPF", yet manually, everything I look up appears good. The IP it sends 
from is included in the SPF record MXToolbox says.

I test via MailGenius, and it says the SPF is good.


I'm clearly getting an undesired result by it hitting our Junk Mail folder. 
MXToolbox says it's bad, but then has conflicting info elsewhere. Someone else 
says it's fine. I'm not sure on how to proceed. It's not for sending campaigns, 
just transactional email (sending to us website contact forms, etc.). The 
domain is newish, but it's been around a few months.

I think I could set up DKIM, but that seems like it's not part of the 
low-hanging fruit problem.
