      Once that key is known, it can be impersonated. Regular rotation is a practical mitigation strategy and I like that Sendgrid took it on ahead of the game.

      Since they are sending, they can create a new key on the second domain, tell new emails to use it without impacting anything in transit by leaving the old one active until it is changed for rotation.
