I'm a web, database, and network architect based in NYC, with specializations in the financial services, publishing, and SaaS sectors. I build complex Marketo integrations for companies large and small... and can make Marketo forms and emails do things you never thought possible! Check out my blog at https://blog.teknkl.com, which has Marketo-specific technical insights you won't see anywhere else, along with wider topics from my programming and systems work.

    It might be added that Intent Analysis (and similar techniques from other anti-spam vendors) is responsible for the pesky and growing reporting problems caused by mail scanners!

  • Re: Setting Up a SubDomain in GoDaddy
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 05-02-2016

    As this subdomain is dedicated to Marketo-emitted emails, why not have the SPF FAIL instead of SOFTFAIL?

  • Munchkin on AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a little tricky
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 04-17-2016 quickview

    More fun with Munchkin domainLevel tonight. A client hired an outside design firm to work on some LPs, and the designers couldn't figure out why forms (embedded Forms 2.0) weren't posting a Munchkin cookie, even though an anonymous Visit Web Page activity was being logged (though for a new lead on e...

  • Adding Munchkin to a Wix website
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 04-02-2016 quickview

    Adding Munchkin to a Wix websiteEither I was a bit overconfident in this Marketo Community Post from over a year ago about Munchkin & Wix, or Wix has changed something since. (Can't track changes on their side, not being a real Wix user myself.) Either way, as of Spring '16, Wix makes you jump throu...

  • Re: SPF: The Top Things That Can Go Wrong
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 03-24-2016

    A record that is NULL or does not exist will break an SPF record. This means be extra careful about typos in your record.Not all mechanisms that have no answers (but where the domain does exist) will instantly break an SPF record. You can have up to 2 lookups during MX or A resolution that return ...

    Sounds good. I don't see any change in the published record yet.

    Yes, the SolidOpinion service is like Disqus or LiveFyre, though without the brand recognition. Ghost blogs don't have built-in comments. It's a known gap, but the blogging platform is great in every other way, so we use a plugin.I'm happy to add, verbatim, any official Marketo response.You might ...

  • Re: Appending Tokens to a URL without Losing Tracking
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 03-16-2016

    Thanks for this, Kristen. But I find the examples incomplete because they don't reflect the click tracking host (branding domain). It's the visit to that host, and not the presence of the mkt_tok query param, that tracks email link clicks. Without mkt_tok, you can't associate the Munchkin session...

  • Re: Creating Nested SPF Entries
    by SanfordWhiteman name dot 03-16-2016

    Fair point. I haven't seen any clients who are configured using the multiple DNS entry spanning SPF configurationIt's not multiple DNS entries. It's a single DNS TXT entry with multiple text strings, as specifically designed into the TXT record type and advised in the SPF RFC.but this approach work...
