What drives the score

The score is calculated from the primary risk signal on the email. Key signal scores:

  • Disposable domain → score ~5
  • SMTP rejected → score ~2
  • Domain typo detected → score ~10
  • Role account (info@, noreply@) → score ~35
  • New domain (<90 days) → score ~55
  • Catch-all domain → score ~60
  • Free email provider → score ~72
  • Valid with MX records → score ~95

The deliverability score answers: "Will this email bounce?" The spam risk score (a separate metric) answers: "Will this email hit spam filters?"
