Deliverability monitoring

Email deliverability monitoring for your lists and domains

Lists decay and DNS records break. RocketVerifier re-checks both on a daily or weekly schedule and alerts you the moment something slips, before it shows up as bounces.

Two monitors

Watch the list and the domain you send from

Bounces usually start with one of two problems: addresses that went bad, or a sending domain that lost its authentication. Monitor both.

List health monitor

Re-verify a saved list on a schedule and catch decay before your next campaign does.

  • Re-verifies up to 5,000 saved addresses on every run
  • Tracks the share of invalid and risky addresses over time
  • Alerts when that share rises by more than your threshold

Cost: 1 credit per email per run. Unknown results are refunded.

Domain authentication monitor

Watch a sending domain’s authentication and reputation so a DNS change never silently sends you to spam.

  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, plus the DMARC policy
  • An authentication score for the domain
  • DNS blacklist listings for the domain’s mail servers

Cost: Free. Domain checks use DNS lookups only, no credits.

How it works

Set it up once, hear about it only when it matters

  1. Create a monitor

    Add a sending domain or paste a list in the dashboard, or create one with POST /v1/monitors.

  2. Pick a schedule

    Run daily or weekly, set an alert threshold, and run it on demand whenever you like.

  3. Each run is compared

    Every result is stored in the run history and compared with the previous run to spot regressions.

  4. Get alerted

    A regression fires a monitor.alert webhook with a severity and plain-English reasons. Route it to Slack, n8n or Zapier.

Alerts

An alert that says exactly what changed

Each alert carries a severity, the reasons in plain English and the previous and current results, signed like every RocketVerifier webhook.

  • New blacklist listings are marked critical
  • Every run is kept in the monitor's history
  • Manage monitors from the dashboard or the /v1/monitors API

FAQ

Deliverability monitoring, answered

Why re-verify a list that was already clean?

Email lists decay. People change jobs, companies shut down domains and mailboxes get disabled. A list that was clean three months ago can bounce more today. A list health monitor re-verifies it on a schedule and tells you when the share of bad addresses starts to climb.

What does a domain authentication monitor check?

It checks the domain’s SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and DMARC policy, calculates an authentication score, and looks up the domain’s mail servers on DNS blacklists. Major mailbox providers expect bulk senders to authenticate their mail, so a broken record can quietly push your mail to spam.

What triggers an alert?

For a list, the share of invalid and risky addresses rising by at least your threshold since the previous run, or a first run that finds the list already in poor shape. For a domain, an SPF, DKIM or DMARC record disappearing, the authentication score dropping by at least your threshold, or a new blacklist listing, which is marked critical.

How often do monitors run?

Daily or weekly, your choice per monitor. You can pause a monitor, change its schedule, or run it immediately at any time.

What does monitoring cost?

Domain authentication monitors are free. List health monitors use 1 credit per email per run, the same as any verification, and unknown results are refunded. If your balance cannot cover a run, it is skipped rather than partially charged.

How do I receive alerts?

Every alert is recorded in the monitor’s run history in the dashboard and sent to any webhook endpoint subscribed to monitor.alert. From there you can forward it to Slack, email or your incident tool with n8n, Zapier or your own code.
