How do the daily inbox placement test work?

Maildoso checks each mailbox's reputation for you, so you can see how your sending is trending without running your own tests.

How the check works

  • A reputation check runs on your mailboxes when triggered — this isn't on a fixed daily/weekly schedule you can rely on, so the gap between checks can vary. If a mailbox's score hasn't updated in a while, that's expected and not on its own a sign of a problem.

  • The result is shown per mailbox on the Email accounts page as a Google Score and a Microsoft Score, along with the Last check of reputation date. Click a mailbox to see the same information in its Deliverability panel.

  • The score reflects how Google/Gmail and Microsoft/Outlook are currently treating that mailbox's sending. High is what you want.

Good to know

  • This reputation check is for SMTP mailboxes. Google Workspace mailboxes are not tested this way.

  • A brand-new mailbox can read low at first — that's normal while it's still warming up, and the score rises on its own as warmup builds its health.

  • If you need a fresh check right now rather than waiting, or your score looks stale for longer than expected, contact us with the mailbox address and we can look into it or trigger a check.

For a full explanation of the scores and what moves them, see Understanding your mailbox reputation scores (Google Score & Microsoft Score). If a score stays low after warmup, or a sequencer shows a mailbox as "burned," see My mailboxes show as "burned", "blacklisted", or low reputation.
