Public email score v2

Binding principles

1. Only email DNS, email authentication and mail transport protection contribute to the score, rating and coverage. Their weights are 20:25:15, normalized to 100 percent.
2. Website TLS, web security headers, blocklists, reputation and website availability are additional information and do not affect the email assessment.
3. Unknown and not applicable results never count as passed. A rating requires at least 50 percent weighted email coverage.
4. Weekly and monthly summaries require at least 75 percent email coverage and six assessed email signals. Stored findings from older scans are re-evaluated without network requests.
5. Public checks use public DNS and limited, validated, IP-pinned HTTPS on port 443. No anonymous SMTP checks or mailbox access.
6. The score is a technical snapshot, not a certificate, legal assessment or a promise of delivery or inbox placement.
