BLOCKLIST-LISTED
Listed on a blocklist
What it means
Receivers that use the list reject or junk mail from the address. Listings follow spam complaints, compromised accounts, open relays, missing reverse DNS or being in a bad neighbourhood.
How to fix it
- 1Find and stop the cause: scan for compromised mailboxes and web forms, check the server is not an open relay.
- 2Fix reverse DNS and make sure the HELO name matches it.
- 3Use the delisting link for each list; most process requests within a day.
- 4Add a Watch so a repeat listing alerts you.
Re-check after the change
DNS changes can take up to the record's TTL to be seen; use Re-run on the result page to bypass our 10-minute cache.
