DETAILED.COM has a bunch of issues that would easily trip SPAM filters.

-------------------------------------------------

TL;DR: DNS, SPF, DKIM & DMARC are not properly configured for DETAILED.COM. Fix and test the issues below.

-------------------------------------------------

Start here: https://mxtoolbox.com/domain/detailed.com/

1. SPF Records

Issue: You should only have 1 SPF record but you have 2.

Combine them. https://www.spfwizard.net/

Current:

  detailed.com.           3600    IN      TXT     "v=spf1 include:smtp.groovehq.com ~all"

  detailed.com.           3600    IN      TXT     "v=spf1 mx include:send.aweber.com -all"
Should be:

  detailed.com.  IN TXT "v=spf1 mx include:send.aweber.com include:smtp.groovehq.com ~all"
2. You SOA record is incorrect

Your current authoritative DNS servers are:

  detailed.com.           172800  IN      NS      ns.sourcedns.com.
  detailed.com.           172800  IN      NS      ns1.sourcedns.com.
Your current SOA is:

  detailed.com.           3600    IN      SOA     ns.liquidweb.com. admin.liquidweb.com. 2017042600 86400 7200 3600000 14400
In your SOA, ns.liquidweb.com is incorrect. It should be ns.sourcedns.com

3. Missing DKIM records

Check if AWEBER is sending the correct ones.

Use the steps outlined here https://www.phishingscorecard.com/ to find your DKIM key and test to see if it's working properly.

4. Setup DMARC to get reports on your failed email

If you had set this up, you would be getting notifications from Gmail, Yahoo, etc as to why your email is not being delivered properly.

I suggest doing a 14-day free trial via https://dmarcian.com/ Once you create an account, they will provide you with RUA & RUF addresses and process the XML responses for you. Don't forget to add the _DMARC TXT record to your DNS.
