IP Reputation
Like any good reputation, a positive IP reputation is a valuable asset and must be protected. It’s important to keep track of the bounce rates, complaints and unsubscription requests. If those addresses aren’t addressed properly, they can hurt your IP reputation, and an IP re-warming action might be required.
Those are some of the topics that we address in our Adobe Campaign Health Check.
