Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about IP blacklists and our checker tool.

What is an IP blacklist (RBL)?

An IP blacklist (Real-time Blackhole List or RBL) is a real-time updated database containing IP addresses known to send spam, engage in malicious activity, or otherwise violate the policies of internet service providers and email providers.

Why can an IP address be blacklisted?

An IP address can be blacklisted for several reasons, such as: sending spam, distributing viruses or malware, phishing attempts, operating an open relay SMTP server, or if the server's vulnerabilities have been exploited and it's used for malicious activity.

How does the IP blacklist checker tool work?

Our tool checks the provided IP address against dozens of known and reputable RBL databases. The results show whether the IP address is listed on any of them, and if so, which ones.

What should I do if my IP address is blacklisted?

If your IP address has been blacklisted, the first step is to identify the cause (e.g., spamming, virus infection). Once you have resolved the issue, you need to contact the operator of the specific blacklist and request the removal of your IP address from their list. The removal process may vary from list to list.
