Blacklist Check

Check an IP against major DNS blacklists (RBLs).

Frequently asked questions

What is a DNS blacklist (DNSBL/RBL)?

A DNSBL is a published list of IP addresses known for sending spam. Mail servers query these lists to decide whether to accept mail from a given IP.

Why is my mail server IP blacklisted?

Common causes are a compromised account sending spam, a misconfigured server acting as an open relay, or inheriting a "dirty" IP from a previous user. Each list has its own delisting process.

How do I get removed from a blacklist?

Fix the underlying issue (secure accounts, close open relays), then use the specific blacklist's removal request page. Listing this tool provides the source list for each hit.
