18. Deliverability
is the measure of whether or not
email is received in a recipient’s inbox.
Success: Mail delivered to the inbox.
Failures: Mail delivered to the spam folder
— or not delivered at all.
19. Reputation
is when ISPs and MBPs
measure your metrics
and decide if you deserve
good or bad deliverability.
20. IP vs Domain
IP Reputation: Stats observed by your sending IP address.
Not fully under your control when you share a
sending IP address with other senders.
Domain Reputation: Stats observed by your domain name.
Usually requires DKIM authentication. Usually comes
into play most often at Gmail and Microsoft.
25. Measuring Deliverability
SFMC Tools can tell you very useful information:
● Email Performance by Domain Reporting
● Spam Complaint Report
● Request “raw” bounce information via Automation Studio or
request from support
● And more…
But it doesn’t tell you everything…
● Inbox placement, blocklist testing, and more (Kickbox).
● Authentication / config checks from KBXSCORE (free!)
