Be careful with this message. It contains links to websites containing malware.
How to check this? Simple. Just email yourself the domain for a separate email account. It won't work if you send it from the same email. If your email goes to the spam folder, and has the above link, you know the domain has issues.
How to check in bulk? Start by sending one large email with all of your domains. If it winds up in your spam, then you know you have a flagged domain. Depending on the size of your list, break up the email into sections. The emails that go to your inbox are free of flagged domains. Keep breaking up the list of domains in the emails until you find the individual domain that's triggering the flag.

Why does this matter? Many reasons. Here's two:
1) Imagine hearing back from an enduser complaining about their emails are going straight to their customers spam with a malware warning.
2) If you're going to do enduser outreach, or monthly notifications of new acquisitions, best be sure no flagged domains are included. For one, it will go directly to their spam. Secondly, who's going to want to buy a domain from a list that Google warns you of Malware? Your credibility can go out the window if your endusers are to believe you aren't taking basic steps of ensuring quality.
