About IP reputation

To help understand the ratings for IP reputation, refer to this table:

Repuation Level	Definition
High	Has a good track record of a very low spam rate. Complies with Gmail’s sender guidelines. Emails are rarely marked by the spam filter.
Medium	Known to send good email, but has occasionally sent a low volume of spam. Most of the email from this domain will have a fair deliverability rate (except when there is a notable increase in spam levels).
Low	Known to send a considerable volume of spam regularly and mail from this sender will likely be marked as spam.
Bad	Has a history of sending a high volume of spam. Emails coming from this domain will almost always be rejected at connection time or marked as spam.
