Understanding Domain Reputation for Email Security

Your domain reputation is essentially your digital credit score. If it drops, your critical communications, marketing emails, and system alerts go straight to the spam folder.

What is Domain Reputation?

It's your domain's digital credit score. ISPs (like Gmail and Outlook) score your domain based on how users interact with your emails. A low score means your emails go to spam.

What Causes a Bad Reputation?

  • High Bounces: Emailing inactive addresses.
  • Spam Complaints: Users marking your email as spam.
  • Missing Security: Lacking SPF, DKIM, or DMARC allows spoofers to ruin your reputation.
