What is Domain reputation?

Google's domain-reputation dashboard assesses the authenticated sending domain rather than every address that uses it. Name the reporting provider before acting on the rating.

Who this applies to#

  • Applies to the authenticated sending domain reported by Google

What Domain reputation requires#

  • Maintain good sending behavior and reduce spam to improve the reputation Google reports for that authenticated domain

What this does not require#

  • The source does not establish one inheritance rule that every provider applies across domains and subdomains

Common mistakes#

  1. Assuming every provider uses the same domain inheritance rules

Domain reputation checklist#

  • Identify the authenticated domain
  • Monitor its behavior
  • Keep provider scope visible

Commonly confused with#

OnVoard's take#

Domain reputation is useful only when the authenticated domain and reporting provider are named.
