Reputation Monitor

48 blacklists, one score, zero surprises.

One listing on the wrong DNSBL can silently halve your deliverability. SenderSignal checks every asset against 48 blacklist and reputation sources and turns the result into a single 0-100 score your whole team understands.

Scoring engine

A score you can put on a dashboard, and defend.

The 0-100 reputation score is deterministic and explainable. Every deduction traces back to a specific listing on a specific zone, weighted by severity and resolver confidence.

  • Starts at 100, only confirmed listings deduct points
  • Weighted deductions, list weight × severity × resolver confidence
  • Signal boosts, a Google Safe Browsing hit costs 30 points; a high IPQualityScore fraud rating costs 20
  • Noise-proof, inconclusive lookups add at most a 5-point uncertainty cap
  • Trend history, score movements over time, with drop/rise alerts at your threshold

Questions

Blacklist monitoring, explained.

How many blacklists are checked, exactly?
48 sources: 42 classic DNS blocklists (34 IP-based, 9 domain/URI-based, 5 covering both) and 6 commercial reputation APIs, Google Safe Browsing, Cisco Talos, Validity, IPQualityScore, Abusix and the SURBL API. Which vendors run for your assets depends on your plan; premium feeds like Spamhaus DQS come with paid tiers.
How is the 0-100 reputation score calculated?
Every asset starts at 100. Only confirmed listings deduct points, weighted by the list’s importance, the severity of the listing and how much we trust the answering resolver. A Google Safe Browsing hit deducts 30 points on its own. Inconclusive lookups add at most a small uncertainty penalty, so flaky DNS never tanks your score.
When do checks actually run?
Three triggers: a full scan the moment an asset is added, scheduled rechecks on your plan’s cadence (daily on free, down to every 15 minutes on the top tier), and manual re-scans whenever you want one, with a short cooldown to protect the resolvers.
What happens when a listing is found?
The score drops, the listing appears with the exact zone and evidence, and an alert fires to your configured channels. You get a guided delisting path for the specific vendor, and monitoring confirms automatically once the delisting goes through.
Can I monitor sending IPs, not just domains?
Yes. Domains, subdomains and IPs are first-class assets. IP assets are additionally checked for PTR and forward-confirmed reverse DNS, which many receivers treat as a basic hygiene signal.
