Email security in Seychelles
How Seychelles protects its email, measured from public DNS across 3,818 domains, and which sectors move the national picture.
Average score across 3,818 domains
Active. 1,700 with live mail routing.
Inactive. 2,118 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. 43 of them already declare that they carry no mail. How we measure this
How these domains spread across score bands
Where Seychelles stands
Across the 3,818 domains we benchmark in Seychelles, the average email-security score is 13 out of 100, below 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 24, while those with no mail routing score 4. Both matter, because a domain does not need working email to be forged in your name.
