I really wouldn't think TTL would be a determining factor - at least if it is I'd argue against it being such. Do any DNS resolvers actually cache data for the period stated in the TTL these days? Too long of a TTL, I think resolvers will flush it out before then anyway. Maybe 900 is too short,

Don't know if ATT looks at this but I know they used to.  The TTL for the A record for server.divebums.com is 900 seconds.  If checking this parameter, it was recommended that this be at least 12 hrs or 43,200 seconds.  The theory was that 900 seconds indicated it was on a dynamic ip address.

Hehe.. another one.. (You think it would be self obvious) When you talk about transparency, the idea is that the domain in the PTR should have a URL, where contact information related to abuse for/from that domain can be found.. 97.107.24.93x1 1.outbound1.email-aeg.com 97.107.24.95

Unfortunately, the host name filter2087p1mdw1.sendgrid.net does not actually indicate an outbound filter. The name is a legacy naming convention. The "filter" servers at SendGrid do a lot of things, but out bound filtering is not one of them. They also have no process in place for verifying From a
