-## Implementation Strategy
+## Implementation Progress
 
-1. Begin with security enhancements to ensure the system is as secure as possible
-2. Focus on deliverability improvements to maximize email delivery success
+### Completed Enhancements
+
+1. **Performance Optimization**
+   - Replaced setTimeout-based DNS cache with LRU cache for more efficient and reliable caching
+   - Implemented advanced rate limiting with token bucket algorithm for outbound emails
+
+2. **Security Enhancements**
+   - Added comprehensive security logging system for email-related security events
+   - Created a centralized SecurityLogger with event categorization and filtering
+   - Implemented DMARC policy checking and enforcement for improved email authentication
+   - Added SPF validation for incoming emails with proper record parsing and verification
+   - Implemented IP reputation checking for inbound emails with DNSBL integration
+   - Added detection for suspicious IPs (proxies, VPNs, Tor exit nodes)
+   - Implemented configurable throttling/rejection for low-reputation IPs
+   - Implemented content scanning for malicious payloads with pattern matching
+   - Added detection for phishing, spam, malware indicators, executable attachments
+   - Created quarantine capabilities for suspicious emails with configurable thresholds
+   - Implemented macro detection in Office document attachments
+
+3. **Deliverability Improvements**
+   - Implemented bounce handling with detection and categorization of different bounce types
+   - Created suppression list management to prevent sending to known bad addresses
+   - Added exponential backoff retry strategy for soft bounces
+   - Implemented automated IP warmup capabilities:
+     - Created configurable warmup stages with progressive volume increases
+     - Added multiple allocation policies (balanced, round robin, dedicated domain)
+     - Implemented daily and hourly sending limits with tracking
+     - Added persistence for warmup state between service restarts
+   - Developed comprehensive sender reputation monitoring:
+     - Implemented tracking of key deliverability metrics (bounces, complaints, opens, etc.)
+     - Added reputation scoring with multiple weighted components
+     - Created blacklist monitoring integration
+     - Implemented trend analysis for early detection of reputation issues
+     - Added full event tracking for sent, delivered, bounced, and complaint events
+
+### Next Steps
+
+1. Continue with security enhancements:
+   - ✅ Added IP reputation checking for inbound emails with DNS blacklist integration and caching
+   - ✅ Implemented content scanning for potentially malicious payloads with pattern matching and threat scoring
+   
+2. Further deliverability improvements:
+   - ✅ Added automated IP warmup capabilities with configurable stages and allocation policies
+   - ✅ Developed sender reputation monitoring with bounce tracking and metric calculation
+   
 3. Implement analytics and monitoring to gain visibility into performance
-4. Add advanced templating features to enhance email capabilities
-5. Optimize performance for scale
-6. Expand integrations to increase flexibility
 
-Each enhancement should be implemented incrementally with comprehensive testing to ensure reliability and backward compatibility. Focus on maintaining the clean separation of concerns that's already established in the codebase.
