A computer-implemented method for managing delivery of email to local recipients. The computer-implemented method may include establishing a local reputation for an email sender address. The method may include storing a domain-name-system record associated with the local reputation on a domain-name system. The domain-name system may be mail-transfer agent agnostic. The method may also include identifying one or more emails sent from the email sender address to one or more local recipients. The method may include forming a spam verdict for each of the one or more emails by analyzing contents of each of the one or more emails. The method may additionally include updating the local reputation for the email sender address based on the one or more spam verdicts.
