The Mathematics of Reputation Rehabilitation
Mailbox providers like Google and Microsoft evaluate reputation via sliding statistical windows (typically 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day exponential moving averages). Recovering from a bad score requires displacing historical negative signals with pristine positive engagement.
Positive Engagement Weights
Actions like “Mark as Not Spam”, starring, replying, and folder-saving carry significantly higher positive weight than opens in rebuilding reputation algorithms.
Zero Complaint Tolerance
During the recovery phase, user spam complaints must stay strictly below 0.05% (no more than 1 complaint per 2,000 sent emails).
