Abstract

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for evaluating email activity and/or controlling, based upon the email activity, transmission of instructions associated with quality are provided. A first email, transmitted by an email account associated with an entity to a plurality of email accounts, may be identified. First activity associated with the first email may be detected. A first set of activity information associated with the first activity may be stored in an entity profile associated with the entity. The entity profile may comprise a plurality of sets of activity information associated with a plurality of emails transmitted by one or more email accounts associated with the entity. A quality score corresponding to the first entity may be generated based upon the entity profile. A notification may be generated based upon the quality score. The notification may be transmitted to the first client device.
