About Domain Reputation

Domain reputation is a measure of how trustworthy a domain is based on its history and behavior. Domains with poor reputation may be involved in spam, phishing, malware distribution, or other malicious activities.

Why Domain Reputation Matters

  • Email Deliverability: Emails from domains with poor reputation are more likely to be blocked or sent to spam
  • Website Accessibility: Some security products may block access to websites with poor reputation
  • Business Reputation: A domain's reputation reflects on the business or individual that owns it
  • Security: Checking a domain's reputation before visiting it can help protect against phishing and malware

Common Reasons for Poor Reputation

  • Spam: Sending unsolicited bulk emails
  • Phishing: Attempting to steal sensitive information by impersonating legitimate entities
  • Malware: Hosting or distributing malicious software
  • Botnets: Participating in networks of compromised computers
  • Content Violations: Hosting illegal or prohibited content

Improving Domain Reputation

  • Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC: These email authentication protocols help prevent email spoofing
  • Monitor Blacklists: Regularly check if your domain is on any blacklists and take steps to get delisted
  • Secure Your Website: Use HTTPS, keep software updated, and implement security best practices
  • Control Email Sending: Ensure your domain isn't being used to send spam or phishing emails
  • Request Removal: If your domain is incorrectly blacklisted, contact the blacklist operator to request removal

Note on Blacklist Results

Being listed on a single blacklist doesn't necessarily mean your domain has a poor reputation overall. Different blacklists have different criteria and false positives can occur. However, being listed on multiple blacklists is a strong indicator of reputation issues that should be addressed.
