Description
Domain reputation is like a scorecard for email domain. It tells email servers how trustworthy your emails are, based on past behavior like spam complaints or bounces.
A good reputation means emails are more likely to end up in the inbox instead of the spam folder. It's something you build over time by following email best practices and keeping your audience engaged.
