Why is my IP blacklisted?
Usually spam was sent from it, often by a hacked account, a compromised website on the same server, or a bulk email to a bad list.

Get delisted
If you are listed, fix the cause and request removal on each list.
How to get off a blacklist
- Find the cause first: a hacked email account or website, a purchased list, or a sudden spike in volume.
- Fix it and change passwords.
- Request removal on the blacklist website. Most lists remove you automatically after the spam stops.
- If you use a shared email provider like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, a listed IP is their problem. Contact their support.
Email Blacklist Check features
- Checks IPs on Spamhaus ZEN, SpamCop, Barracuda, UCEPROTECT, PSBL, Mailspike, DroneBL and NiX Spam.
- Checks domains on Spamhaus DBL, SURBL and URIBL.
- For a domain, checks the domain plus its website and mail server IPs.
- Clearly marks lists that did not answer, so you never see a false listing.
Email Blacklist Check FAQ
What does "Not checked" mean?
That list did not answer our server, for example because it limits free queries. It does not mean you are listed.
Does a blacklist listing send my email to spam?
It can. Many companies block email from IPs on Spamhaus and similar lists, and others use listings as a spam signal.
