Active. 164,157,326 with live mail routing.

Inactive. 217,989,108 with no mail routing found.

An inactive domain is not receiving email, yet it stays registered and can still be forged in your name. Securing it costs nothing and closes that door. 17,305,869 of them already declare that they carry no mail. How we measure this

Why the country matters

Email security is shaped by where a business operates. Regulation, the dominant mail providers, and how mature the local IT market is all pull national averages apart, sometimes by a wide margin.

Comparing a domain against its own country is usually fairer than comparing it against the world. It tells you whether you are ahead of the organisations you actually trade alongside.

Two numbers behind every country

Active domains route live email today, so their score reflects mail that is genuinely flowing.
Inactive domains carry no mail routing, yet they stay registered and can still be forged, so they belong in the picture.
