Posted on April 28th, 2006 at 5:09 pm by Brandon Phillips

Senders who would like to receive an unsubscribe reputation overview report for any IP address can use lashback’s new search tool located in the sender toolbox.  This report will give senders overview details including whether or not that IP address has cases of “Failure to Honor” (unsubscribe consumers within 10 days) and “suppression list abuse” (harvesting of email addresses from suppression files).  Here’s a link to the Sender Toolbox

More detailed reputation reports which include message level review of violations can be accessed by lashback’s UnsubMonitor service. 

The Evolution of the Bonded Sender Program
Posted on April 24th, 2006 at 10:40 am by Brandon Phillips

The Bonded Sender Program owned by Return Path, Inc. has changed more than its name.  Now called Sender Score Certified, they have dropped the bond and begun enforcing all certified senders to maintain a stellar reputation in their highly anticipated Sender Score reputation service.  Sender Score is a web based service which allows senders to plug into the feedback loop to view and monitor their overall reputation which includes lashback’s UnsubScore.  According to Return Path the biggest disqualification from Sender Score Certified is unsubscribe performance. 

Organizations which are looking for ways to increase deliverability to over 250 million inboxes including Microsoft should monitor and protect their reputation using these emerging reputation monitor tools.  Here are links to free reputation trials and reports:
