Verification Plus Threats Result Codes
Impressionwise’s data intelligence platform is based on policy-driven rule sets and real-time scanning algorithms that use a multi-layered approach to identify, validate and protect against a wide range of e-mail-based threats. These threats, ranging in severity, are broken down into the following categories for flexibility in customized export usage options while providing unprecedented, detailed insight.
Threat Intelligence |
||
![]() |
Trap. Purpose-built, Spam-trap, or Honeypot e-mail address, any e-mail messages sent to this address are immediately considered unsolicited. Email address has known association of having direct ownership or control over the resources involved with the reception of a message leading to its submission to one or more DNSBL sites. | |
![]() |
Mole. Collaborating recipient submission-based or domain-level, anti-spam solution with no current, direct ownership of resources involved. Yet historical evidence firmly establishes a relationship to one or more DNSBL sites. | |
![]() |
Quarantine. Once active traps gone dormant may become reactivated during a 90 day period. Yet actively considered certified. | |
![]() |
Seed. Third party oversight email address used for general monitoring of company's network resources. Removal of litigators and collaborative anti-spam activists historically known to purposely seed their email address(es) for the purpose of litigation. | |
![]() |
Key. Complex pattern recognition and threat string algorithms designed to remove intra-domain recipients employed by that domain for use as spam traps. | |
Delivery Intelligence |
||
![]() |
Invalid. Defined as the inability to actually deliver an email message to intended recipient's receiving domain per RFC standards. | |
![]() |
Parked Site. Email addresses that after careful evaluation have been established to be least likely to be responsive or engage. | |
![]() |
Dormant Account. TLD account with no login activity for a long period of time, the recipient account is defined by the provider as “inactive” and turned into a form of unknowing collaborator with no non-delivery report (NDR) indicating “no such user” or “mailbox not found” being sent as a response. | |
![]() |
Discretionary. We are able to conclude that these email addresses do not represent a threat and are safe to send to. These addresses, commonly referred to as “Accept All’s”, contain a domain-wide setting that does not allow for anyone to conclusively verify that these addresses are deliverable. | |
![]() |
Certified Safe to Send. Email address with no known reason to expect a delivery failure or harm to email senders online reputation. |
