Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DNS blacklist?
A DNS blacklist (DNSBL) is a real-time database of IP addresses known to send spam or engage in malicious behaviour. Email servers query these lists before accepting incoming mail — if the sender's IP is listed, the email may be rejected or sent to spam.
How do I know if my email is blacklisted?
Signs your email is blacklisted include: emails landing in spam folders, delivery failures with error codes like 550 or 554, and low email open rates. Use this free blacklist checker to check your domain against 10 major DNSBL lists instantly.
How do I get removed from a blacklist?
Each blacklist has its own removal process. For Spamhaus, visit spamhaus.org and submit a removal request after fixing the underlying issue (e.g., securing a compromised server or stopping spam). For SpamCop, the listing will typically expire automatically in 24–48 hours. First, identify and fix the root cause — otherwise you'll be re-listed.
What is Spamhaus?
Spamhaus is one of the most widely used and authoritative email blacklists in the world. Their ZEN list combines the SBL (Spamhaus Block List), XBL (Exploits Block List), and PBL (Policy Block List). Being listed on Spamhaus ZEN can severely affect email deliverability.
Why are my emails going to spam?
Emails go to spam for several reasons: your IP or domain is on a blacklist, your SPF/DKIM/DMARC records are missing or misconfigured, your email content contains spam trigger words, or you are sending to unengaged or purchased lists. Check this blacklist checker first, then verify your SPF and DMARC records.
