Mail & blacklist

MX, SPF, DMARC and DKIM for a domain, plus a check of its mail servers against public DNS blocklists.

Frequently asked questions

My IP is listed. What now?

Find and stop the cause first — a compromised account, an open relay or a bulk send. Then follow the delisting process on that list's website. Many lists remove an IP automatically after a quiet period.

Why are some lists shown as 'could not check'?

Some blocklists, such as Spamhaus, refuse queries that come through large public resolvers. The result is unknown, not clean.

What DMARC policy should I use?

Start with p=none and a rua address to collect reports. Once legitimate mail passes SPF or DKIM alignment, move to p=quarantine and then p=reject.
