At AhaSend, we’re committed to improving the security and deliverability of your emails. That’s why we’re excited to introduce two new features that help you automatically reject email messages sent to recipients from toxic domains and recipients with typos in their email addresses. These tools are designed to enhance your email hygiene, protect your domain reputation, and prevent potential security threats.
1. Automatically Reject Emails to Toxic or Temporary Domains
Toxic domains are often associated with phishing, spam, and other malicious activities, while temporary email domains are commonly used to bypass trial limitations or create fake accounts. Sending emails to such addresses can harm your sender reputation and lead to poor deliverability.
With this feature, AhaSend enables you to:
- Automatically reject emails sent to a list of over 200,000 known toxic and temporary email domains.
- Prevent delivery to high-risk recipients, reducing the likelihood of being flagged by spam filters.
- Maintain your domain’s reputation by avoiding interactions with harmful or unreliable addresses.
When enabled, any attempt to send emails to these domains will be rejected with the error message: "553 Requested action not taken: recipient domain is toxic or tempmail."
This proactive measure ensures your resources are focused on genuine, high-quality recipients.
2. Automatically Reject Emails to Domains with Typos
Typos happen—recipients might accidentally type “gmil.com” instead of “gmail.com,” or other common misspellings. Unfortunately, some of these misspelled domains are registered by attackers for typo-squatting, a technique used to gather sensitive information or conduct phishing attacks.
With this feature, AhaSend offers:
- Automated detection of common typos in recipient email domains.
- Protection against typo-squatting attacks that exploit these mistakes.
- Improved email hygiene by eliminating invalid or risky addresses from your campaigns.
When activated, emails to these mistyped domains will be rejected with the error message: "553 Requested action not taken: recipient domain has common a typo."
This ensures your emails reach legitimate recipients while protecting your users from potential threats.
