How IP Reputation Affects Email Delivery

How IP Reputation Affects Email Delivery

Understand DMARC Tags and Their Purpose

An IP address plays a critical role in how mailbox providers evaluate incoming email.

When an email is sent, providers assess the IP reputation, network history, and authentication results before deciding whether the message is delivered, filtered, or blocked.

IP reputation is evaluated independently from SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

Your DMARC record is made up of several components that help protect your domain from unauthorized email use. Here's a breakdown of each part and what it does to ensure better email security.

What blocklists mean

Email blocklists are databases used by mailbox providers to identify IP addresses associated with spam, abuse, or suspicious activity. Why IPs get listed High spam complaint rates Large volumes of unsolicited email Abuse from shared or datacenter infrastructure Being listed on a blocklist can reduce delivery rates, even when authentication is correctly configured.

Datacenter vs Residential IPs

Datacenter IPs are commonly used for servers and email infrastructure. Because they are often associated with bulk or automated sending, they are monitored more aggressively than residential IPs. Reputation can be influenced by other senders sharing the same network or ASN.

Reverse DNS (PTR Record)

A reverse DNS (PTR) record links an IP address to a hostname. Mailbox providers expect a valid PTR record for legitimate mail servers. While a PTR record does not guarantee inbox placement, missing or incorrect reverse DNS can negatively affect delivery.

How This Relates to SPF, DKIM, and DMARC

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authenticate who is allowed to send email for a domain. IP reputation determines how much trust mailbox providers place in the sending source. For consistent inbox placement, both authentication and IP reputation must be healthy.
