If you maintain a domain with email then here is one very important tool: Google Postmaster Tools.

You an easily see the domain reputation (as reported by Google Mail and Google Apps users), IP address reputation, Spam rate, etc.

Most interesting for me is the rate of success/failure for DKIM and SPF lookups - Geekzone is at 100% success for both so it's great. Also note your domain needs to be sending thousands of emails to recipients on Google services for this to be meaningful (or even available).

Did it take a while to work for you once you added the domains? Mine just says

No Data Available

Postmaster Tools requires that your domain satisfies certain conditions before data is visible for this chart. Refer to the help page for more information.

Help page doesn't say anything useful.

Mine was available as soon as validated. Your domain needs to send a few thousand emails to Google servers to count.

Ah ok. Well that might take me a few years.

I got this too.

Does the "few thousand" email requirement include emails prior to signing up, or just going forward?

From before sign up counts too. As soon as I logged in and added Geekzone I saw numbers there.

Interesting, I've just verified one of our domains, and I see zero stats as yet. However, our own tracking stats show just shy of 5,000 mailouts to @google.com and @gmail.com addresses in the last 4 weeks. Perhaps it's only showing the last 7 or 14 days worth upon signup? The FAQ suggests other age filters won't become available until that much time after verification.

Have just signed up
We have about active 180 email accounts used by residential customers on our domain so i would assume we have accumulated 5000 emails being sent to @gmail.com over the last six months.

But I also only see the "domain must meet conditions" and no useful info on the help page.
