About email blacklists

Email blacklists (DNSBLs) are real-time databases of IP addresses and domains known for sending spam. Major email providers check these lists to filter incoming mail.

Most impactful blacklists:

  • Spamhaus - Used by most major providers
  • Barracuda - Common in enterprise
  • SpamCop - User-reported spam
  • SORBS - Aggregated spam sources

About this tool

Blacklist listings are serious deliverability blockers. If you're listed, work to identify the cause—typically high bounce rates, spam complaints, or poor list hygiene. Once delisted, strengthen your authentication with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Monitor list quality using our email validator and disposable email checker to prevent future listings. Track your performance with our email calculator to spot early warning signs.
