Here is my weekly Postmark DMARC Digest. I currently have an allow-all DMARC policy. My last 4 weekly digests have all looked pretty similar as far as DKIM and SPF failures.
DMARC Report
I know that Mailchimp can't be SPF-aligned because of the way they configure their service, but it can be DKIM aligned.
As you can see Mailchimp fails DKIM Alignment about 4% of the time. I thought it should be good 99.9% of the time.
Is this normal?
Should I enable a quarantine or reject DMARC policy and lose 4% of my contacts?
Thanks in advance.
Per Mailchimp support:
This can really just boil down to the receiving server's e-mail
settings -- stricter policies are going to filter out e-mails from
major ESPs like Mailchimp and that can result in you seeing some
unexpected results, like what we're seeing here.

We have a (verified) application integration with Google Calendar API.
For most of our users, it works perfectly fine. However, we have one particular user account that attempts to synchronize our application's calendar with their Google Calendar. The sync fails with the following message sent back to us via our Google libraries:
Could not sync events to Google Calendar:\nError calling POST https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/REMOVED/events: (403) Rate Limit Exceeded
This corresponds to the documentation on usage limits.
We have already raised the per-user quota in the development console twice, and neither time did Google's developer console indicate our users were approaching anywhere near to the number of requests that would have led to an issue; we have bumped it significantly anyway.
The other suggestion on this page is the following:
If one user is making a lot of requests on behalf of many users of a G Suite domain, consider a Service Account with authority delegation (setting the quotaUser parameter).
Most of users likely do not have a GSuite domain, so this option is off the table.
Are there any other suggestions for how to handle this situation? Is there anything we can look at to resolve this issue for this user? Would using backoff necessarily resolve this situation? We are uncertain if this user's limit is only for their Google Calendar integration with our software, or if it's possible it relates to other Google services the user might utilizing (in which case backoff on our end would not make a difference). How can we determine the best course of action on this issue?
I'm not sure where to read about the API request limit for a Google platform such as DFP.
I want to know if the limits are on a per platform basis, or a per google API console account basis? Because there may be several API accounts under
a single platform
Thanks
According to their support,
The API will give a QuotaError if the number of requests exceeds the limit. It is recommended to implement a back off before retrying the request. If you have DFP Small business, then it is recommended to limit requests 2 per second, if you have a Premium account, limit 8 requests per second.

I recently started an internship concerning Master Data Management in Talend. Part of the Master Data Management proces involves the cleansing of data. In my case I have to cleanse a few addresses. After doing some research I bumped into the Google Places API, which would do the trick for me. At first I wasn't aware of the so called quota limits that are bound to this API so I decided to read up on it some more. Basicly I have quite a few addresses to cleanse, so the 1000 requests per day limit won't cut it. As of yesterday I decided to increase that limit to 150 000 requests by verifying my identity using my creditcard. The requests were indeed increased to 150 000 but after a few hours my billing account was closed without warning and the limit went back to 1000 requests.
My question is: is the increase of the quota limit only available for businesses or are individual users eligible for it too?
I basicly filled in my own name as the name of the business when I created the billing account for my own project. That billing account is closed now. I really need that quota increase to be able to finish my project so I'm wondering if you guys are able to enlighten me. The image below is part of the form which has to be filled in to create a billing account.
for this amount of quota you have to identify yourself through your credit card and thats it. you can use this key for personal use or business does not matter . as the whole app has that much of search quota. no matter how many people install that app.
so the answer is it is eligible for individual users too.
thank you
You may have different terms in your country. We don't have VAT in the US, although we do have state-specific sales tax on some goods and services. I suspect that Google cannot offer this service in your country without a business tracking the VAT for it. I use the Google Search API with Custom Search Engines on both personal and business accounts from the US with just CC validation. You might look to see if there are Google services resellers local to you who can offer you the Place API.
Billing was added to our gmaps-api project. And the billing definitely propagated, as it was added around 4 weeks ago.
In the project dashboard, billing shows as available. However, when we try to adjust our quotas, it says that we need to activate billing.
We contacted just about every channel at Google and were told that there is absolutely no provided support for billing issues with developer APIs.
Us: "We want to give you money."
Google: "No, and we won't help you."
Has anyone else encountered billing issues with API projects, and if so, how did you resolve them?

Note: Finally a rep reached out. You can ONLY get around the quota by getting a Google Maps for Work license.
The billing option is just a false lead if you're looking to go above the quota.
So it seems there are 2 limits.
You can only geocode 2500 addresses per day without billing.
You can geocode up to 100000 per day if you provide billing but you are limited to 2500 per session.
I seem to have this issue as well. I have a billing operation setup but I need to set up multiple sessions in order to go above the 2500 limit.
If you want to go above 2500 per session then you need the "Google Maps for Work" license. Is that correct?
Do all cell companies have open APIs that allow you to send SMS messages like Twitter does?
Do you have to pay to do this?
Many (most?) mobile companies have email gateways allowing you to send an SMS. For AT&T I believe it's phonenumber#text.att.net, but each provider will have a different address.
This wikipedia article summaries it pretty well. Some cell companies have easy formats. For example, Verizon uses number#vtext.com.
It depends what country you're in.
In the UK to pay to send - receiving is free.
Take a look at messagepub. They provide an easy API so that you can send SMS messages from your application.
If you want a reliable solution then yes you will have to pay for it, there are some limited free versions.
We used Clickatell with an earlier project http://www.clickatell.com/developers.php
It gets a bit more complicated. E-mail gateways may work for some carriers, but not others. As noted, it's based on your cell carrier, what we can the aggregator, and possibly a third-party "intercarrier". However, it also depends on volume. If you're just sending the occasional SMS via e-mail, it certainly can work, but, it's occasional in use, and you don't get the confirmations that your phone normally sees. For volume transfers of messages, you typically need to talk to your carrier about access to their "SMSC gateway". The SMSC gateway speaks an internet protocol (SMPP) to transfer messages from your app, into the carrier clouds. It it designed for volume, and you get response codes for your messages.
