...didn't get any, but I found some via an unfortunate client, who was doing this via a CRM without setting any sort of domain authentication up for their sender (I do data migrations at my day job, so I see everyone's skeletons...)

tl;dr: bounce rate will be about 45-50% over time if you don't set up any sort of DKIM or SPF records, varying slightly depending on your recipients, but it's the IMPORTANT PEOPLE you can't email.

Excerpt below, <-- email domain sent to, --> email server which rejected the message.

Email Bounced | Email Server
