new_domain

The domain was registered under 180 days ago

The registration is between 30 and 179 days old — past its first month, not yet an established domain.

risk weight: +10
dataset: rdap-registration
reads from: domain_age_days
verdict reason: none: a score-only signal

What it means

Exclusive with young_domain: under 30 days that weight applies, from 30 to 179 days this one, older or unknown ages nothing. Registration facts are read for business domains only.

It reads from domain_age_days and comes with no verdict reason.

What to do

A hint rather than a verdict: a six-month-old company mails from a domain this age.

Abbreviated: a real answer carries all 46 fields, listed in the verify-email reference. The risk_signals entry shown is the one this signal adds; the weights of every entry in the list sum to risk_score.
