From domain to verdict

How to check email domain reputation

Three steps, no signup, no card on file. Enter a domain, watch the engine weigh its reputation against every signal, verdict in two seconds.

001SCAN

Paste the domain

Drop in any domain, or an email address on it — we strip it to the domain for you. Verifox screens that domain against the public blocklists and the live DNS records mailbox providers read before accepting mail.

002SIGNALS

Score the signals

Nine checks weigh exactly what mailbox providers weigh: DNSBL and blocklist listings, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment, MX presence, domain age, and catch-all or disposable patterns — each scored live, then folded into one sender-reputation number.

003VERDICT

Read the verdict

In about two seconds you get a verdict — safe, risky, or blocklisted — with a 0-100 spam score and the exact record that tripped it, so you fix the real cause instead of guessing before your next send.

The reputation read

What domain reputation means

Not a single blacklist ping. A sender score, read alongside every other check Verifox already runs on the domain.

Checking a domain's email reputation answers the one question that decides whether your mail lands: do mailbox providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo trust this sending domain? A strong reputation reaches the inbox; a poor one gets throttled, foldered, or rejected, however good the message is. Verifox reads that reputation as part of the same verdict it returns for every address.

See it in action

Everything the checker does, on one screen

From one pasted address to a full CSV, every check runs the same nine-layer engine and hands you a verdict you can send on.

Single check

Verify one email in seconds

Paste an address and the checker runs all nine deliverability layers (syntax to live SMTP) and hands back a verdict, a 0-100 confidence score, and the full check-by-check breakdown. You send to a confirmed inbox, never a hopeful guess.

/dashboard/verify

Bulk & CSV

Verify a whole list at once

Upload a CSV or paste a list, and the checker works the entire batch (the same nine-check engine on every single row), then returns a clean file split into valid, risky, and invalid, ready to export.

/dashboard/lists
Verifox bulk verification results: stat tiles for valid, risky and invalid counts above a table of verified email addresses.
API & MCP

Drop it into your stack

One REST call verifies an address and returns the verdict as JSON , with cURL, Node, and Python examples ready to copy. Wiring an AI agent instead? The same verification ships as a native MCP server.

/api-docs

Analytics

Watch your list health over time

Every check you run rolls up into one activity view: volume, valid rate, and risk trends across single checks, bulk jobs, and API calls, so you catch a decaying list before it dents your sender reputation.

What teams are saying

Built for the teams that ship outbound

Growth leads, marketers, and engineers running real campaigns on real lists, with a verified email on every byline.

Thomas George, GTM Lead at Stripe

90% lower bill, 0.4% bounces

We were paying ZeroBounce a four-figure monthly bill and still landing 3% bounces on cold campaigns. Switched the pipeline to Verifox, dropped to 0.4% bounces, and cut the bill by more than 90%.

Catch-all finally has a verdict

Other tools flag 30% of our B2B list as 'risky catch-all' and leave the call to us. Verifox returns a real verdict on those addresses, with a confidence score. We send more, we send safer.

Reputation rebuilt in 6 weeks

We had a Gmail spam-folder problem after a bad list import. Verifox cleaned the list and the warmup ran on the same engine. Back in primary inbox in six weeks. One vendor, half the cost.
Dale M.GTM Lead, Slack
Erica Kovalkoski, GTM Lead at Discord

0.7% bounce on 50k

Ran a 50,000-address outbound list through Verifox before our quarterly campaign. Bounces landed at 0.7%, sender reputation didn't move, replies were up 22% over last quarter.

MCP in 10 minutes

Their MCP server let me wire email verification directly into our internal Claude agent in about ten minutes. Zero glue code. No other vendor in this space has thought about that workflow.
Greg L.GTM Lead, OpenAI
Rini Vasana, Product Manager at Vercel

10k/min held under 400ms

Tested Verifox at 10,000 verifications per minute on a Tuesday morning. Latency held under 400ms median, no soft failures, no rate-limit walls. The vendor we benched throttled at 2,000/min.

Hygiene that doesn't break pipeline

Our SDRs were enriching from three tools and 14% of the emails were invalid before they hit the sequencer. Verifox sits in the pipeline now and the team stopped seeing 'undeliverable' replies the next week.

Scores you can act on

Verifox returns a 0-100 confidence score per address, not just a label. We thresholded at 75 for the cold sequencer, 60 for nurture, and our deliverability team finally has a knob they can tune.

Common questions

Domain reputation, answered

The questions we get from teams that land here to check how their email domain reputation really scores, with the real numbers, real limits, and real opinions behind our deliverability stack.

How many free domain reputation checks do I get?

4 per day from this page, no account, no card. The widget takes a bare domain like acme.com or a full address, either counts as one check.

When the daily four run out, wait 24 hours or create a free account for 1,000 checks on the spot, 2,500 if your signup email is a work address. Past that, credits are pay-as-you-go and never expire on any paid plan, with volume pricing shown for your region.

What goes into a domain's email reputation?

Email domain reputation is the trust score mailbox providers assign to your sending domain. It rises and falls with the signals we read on every check: blocklist and DNSBL history for the domain and its IPs across lists like Spamhaus, Barracuda, and SORBS; authentication posture, from the SPF TXT record and DKIM selector keys to the _dmarc policy; MX configuration and whether the mail host resolves cleanly; domain age and how long it has been sending; and any disposable, parked, or throwaway-domain patterns.

Verifox folds these into the sender-reputation read inside its verdict, so a shaky domain reads as risky before you ever hit send.

How does Verifox check email domain reputation?

Reputation is one of the nine checks our engine runs in parallel on every address. When you test email domain reputation here, we pull the domain’s blocklist history, inspect its SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, confirm its MX setup, and weigh its age, then roll all of it into one confidence score.

The reputation read sits alongside syntax, MX, SMTP, catch-all, disposable, and role-address checks. If you only want the blocklist slice on its own, the email blacklist check runs the very same engine.

Can I test the email domain reputation for a whole list in bulk?

Yes. The free tier gives you 1,000 checks (2,500 if you sign up with a work email), so a domain email reputation check across most small lists is covered outright.

For larger lists, our paid credit packs are pay-as-you-go and never expire, with pricing localized to your region on the pricing page. CSV upload, API access, and bulk parallel processing are included from the free tier up.

Do you keep a record of the domains I look up?

No. Whether you submit a bare domain or a full address, the lookup runs in memory and is gone the moment the verdict returns. There is no query log to mine, share, or leak.

Verifox is SOC 2 Type II compliant, with the full Trust Center report available on request, and the privacy policy spells out exactly what crosses the wire during a reputation check.

How do I improve a poor email domain reputation?

Fix the inputs that mailbox providers actually grade. Publish and align SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, warm new domains slowly, keep bounce and complaint rates low, and stop sending to dead addresses. A clean list is the single biggest lever, because bounces and spam-traps are what drag a domain down in the first place.

So the durable fix is hygiene: scrub every list with an email verifier before each campaign. Verifox flags the risky addresses so they never enter your sending stream, which is how a sender reputation recovers and holds.

What's the difference between domain reputation and a blacklist check?

A blacklist check answers one yes-or-no question: is this domain or IP currently listed on a blocklist. Domain reputation is the broader picture. It weighs blocklist history alongside authentication, MX health, and domain age to estimate how mailbox providers will treat your mail. Verifox returns both from the same nine-check engine.

If you want the listing slice on its own, the email blacklist check is the focused view, and the free email validator is the same tool tuned for address-level validation. All three share the same accuracy and the same free tier.

How fast is a domain reputation lookup over the API?

A single reputation read returns in about 380 ms at the median, and under 50 ms when the result is cached. Bulk jobs stream at roughly 10,000 emails per minute on the standard tier, so scoring every sending domain in a CRM is a minutes-long job, not an overnight one.

Uptime is contractual: 99.9% on Starter, 99.99% with an annual Volume contract. Live status and incident history sit at status.verifox.ai, and the API docs cover the request and response shapes.

Can I add domain reputation checks to my own app or AI agent?

Yes. The REST API reference documents the inbound and outbound shapes for every endpoint, so you can drop real-time reputation and deliverability scoring into signup forms, CRMs, or any tool that speaks REST. HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, and Brevo all connect out of the box.

Verifox also ships native MCP server support so AI agents (Claude, Cursor, custom LLM apps) can score domains without glue code. Drop the MCP URL into your agent config and the tools are wired.
