Frequently Asked Questions
What factors make up a domain's trust score?
The trust score is calculated from multiple signals: domain age (older domains carry more trust), DNS authentication completeness (SPF, DKIM, DMARC presence and correctness), blacklist status across 50+ DNSBLs, the hosting provider's reputation, mail server configuration, and historical sending patterns.
How is Domain Intelligence different from a Domain Health Check?
The Domain Health Check focuses specifically on your DNS authentication records — whether SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, BIMI, and TLS-RPT are correctly configured. Domain Intelligence is a broader reputation audit that includes domain age, hosting ISP profile, blacklist status, and an overall trust score.
Can I use this to check a domain before doing business with them?
Yes. If you are evaluating a potential partner, vendor, or email sender, the Domain Intelligence report reveals whether their domain has proper email authentication, is listed on any blacklists, how old the domain is, and what hosting infrastructure they use.
