If someone were going to register a domain to use for e-mail, what would you recommend? Does the name chosen or TLD make a difference or is IP address the sole determinant of "reputation"? I imagine the situation is like with search, the filtering algorithms used are kept secret, probably because they are biased toward protecting or improving the company's revenues.


Both the registered domain and shared/dedicated IP address are factors in determining email reputation. For example, see:

I've never heard about TLD being a factor, but who knows? It's possible.
