# `parked_domain`: the domain's nameservers belong to a parking service

The domain is parked or for sale and still accepts mail, so whoever collects that mail is not your customer.

- Weight: +60
- Dataset: parking-nameservers
- Read from: `parked`
- Verdict reasons it comes with: `parked_domain`

The nameservers match the bundled parking list — Sedo, ParkingCrew, Bodis, Afternic, Dan and their kind. The check runs only when the domain has usable mail servers, because a parked domain with no MX is already undeliverable, and null means the nameserver lookup failed rather than a clean answer.

It reads from the parked field and comes with the parked_domain verdict reason, placed after a typo-squat and before disposable.

**What to do.** Treat it as a harvesting address: do not send, and offer a correction only when did_you_mean carries one. The default sending policy blocks on it.
