Sender Score – Provided by Return Path. They collect data from some ISPs and blocklists. Using a proprietary formula, they calculate a sender score running from 1 – 100 for each IP address sending mail to their network. Higher scores means a better reputation. Can be inaccurate for IPs sending very low volumes of email. Some ISPs use Sender Score to feed into their delivery decision engines.
