Inactive. 1,030 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. 27 of them already declare that they carry no mail. How we measure this

Where Ghana stands

Across the 4,604 domains we benchmark in Ghana, the average email-security score is 23 out of 100, a little above the global average of 13. That leaves the typical domain here open to being impersonated.

The headline covers every registered domain. Domains that carry live mail score 27, while those with no mail routing score 6. Both matter, because a domain does not need working email to be forged in your name.
